---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: System administrator part-time job offer From: "Antonis Christofides" <anthony(a)itia.ntua.gr> Date: Sat, February 17, 2007 9:33 pm To: bxl(a)ffii.org polis-parl(a)ffii.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, we have decided to have professionals run some essential services. We start with a system administrator. The announcement is included below, and may also be found at http://action.ffii.org/jobs/sysadmin. Next week we'll have a similar announcement for the development of a membership management system. Later we may ask for a webmaster. If you are interested in such computing-related announcements, please either subscribe to the polis-parl mailing list, (this one also goes to bxl, but future announcements won't), or periodically check http://action.ffii.org/jobs. System administrator position We seek to employ a part-time system administrator to care for the FFII's machines. The administrator will be working for about 10 hours per week and be paid 500 euro per month. Vacation may be from zero to 5 weeks per year, at the administrator's option, and will be unpaid. If the administrator needs to charge VAT when invoicing the FFII, the VAT shall be in addition to the 500 euro. System administration will be performed from wherever the administrator wishes, by ssh into the FFII servers. During these 10 hours the administrator must keep the machines in running order; perform trivial daily maintenance tasks such as creation of mailing lists and user accounts; pick up jobs from a queue, supervised by the IT manager; and do any extra jobs requested by the board and the IT manager. Such work may be: * The preparation of backup and recovery plans, and of security policy. * The installation and setup of an issue tracking system. * Investigation of server security. Response to non-urgent tasks, such as creation of user-accounts and lists, should be 3 working days; for urgent tasks, such as the correction of web site failure, it should not be more than 1 working day; cases of unavailability must be agreed on with the IT manager beforehand. The administrator shall be writing down where he spends his time, and periodically submit this information to the IT manager. Such administrative work is part of the duties to be performed within the 10 hours. The administrator must be comfortable with Debian, Apache, Exim, SpamAssasin, Mailman, PostgreSQL, and at least one of Perl or Python (Python is preferred). (This list is given as an indication of what software you will need to maintain; if you miss one of these, it doesn't necessarily mean you will be excluded from consideration.) Since the administrator will have access to all data of FFII, he will be required to sign a NDA. Please send your application and CV in plain text (no more than 60 lines, up to 72 or so characters per line), to board(a)ffii.org, the subject line being "Application for sysadmin position", no later than 28 February 2007. All applications received within the deadline will be considered; you may try to apply later, in which case we may or we may not consider it. -- Antonis Christofides +30-2107722840 (work) +30-2106521785 (home) +30-6979924665 (mobile) _______________________________________________ bxl mailing list (un)subscribe via http://lists.ffii.org/mailman/listinfo/bxl and http://aktiv.ffii.org/.
