[Marika Francis]

E-MAIL SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR – University Systems Group
The University Systems Group (USG) provides enterprise mail, web, 
identity, research computing, and other UNIX-based services to the Tufts 
community. USG seeks an individual with a demonstrated ability to 
quickly absorb and integrate new information to fill its available 
E-Mail System Administrator position.

The E-Mail System Administrator will provide system administration 
services focused on operation, maintenance, and improvement of 
electronic mail systems supported by the USG, including supervised 
development of automated and manual support procedures as well as 
maintaining general and vendor-specific skills and knowledge of e-mail 
systems. She/he will also contribute to the development and upkeep of 
other systems, tools, and processes used by the USG to provide 
electronic directory services and generalized platform support services. 
The successful individual selected for this position must be able to 
communicate clearly and build good working relationships with co-workers 
in USG and in other groups and departments within and outside TCCS.

The successful applicant will possess three to four years of experience 
as a system administrator with at least one commercial version of the 
UNIX operating system, preferably Sun Solaris at version 8 or higher. A 
Vocational/Training or Associates degree is required. An understanding 
of TCP/IP, IMAP, SMTP, SSL/TLS, LDAP, and DNS or the ability to learn 
them on the job is also required. The selected candidate must have 
experience writing scripts to support system administration functions in 
Perl and Bourne shell. Familiarity with the use of small databases in 
(e.g.) MySQL to support system administration functions, or the ability 
to learn this skill on the job, is also required. The ability to 
communicate technical issues to less technically focused audiences is 
essential. The successful candidate must also be able to manage the 
dynamic tension of event driven, problem solving oriented work versus 
longer term project work, and be able to make visible progress on all 
fronts.
