GNS Healthcare is looking for a mid-level (SAGE IIIish) IT Manager & sysadmin,
to manage and support a small, but diverse and growing IT environment. GNS
Healthcare is a healthcare and biotech focused company engaged in high
performance computing analysis of large datasets.  osftware

The IT manager will be the primary support for around 25 FTEs with a wide
variety of computing needs. That support includes some general laptop support
-- mostly Macs, with a few Linux and Windows clients in the mix -- telephony,
mobile computing, printing and the like. 

Our numbers are small but expected to grow rapidly in the coming year. Right
now IT is a one-person shop, but can be expected to expand beyond that soon.

In the server room, it includes support for networking (Linux-based router &
firewalls, an OpenVPN server, a relatively simply wireless network), the HPC
compute cluster, which runs Ubuntu Linux and Sun/Oracle Grid Engine on a number
of compute nodes, and OpenSolaris and ZFS for storage. We have a small
smattering of other services (wikis, subversion, some databases). We also
contract for CPU cycles with external providers, and have some interest in HPC
cloud computing once the economics make sense for us. Our server room and
infrastructure is dominated by open source Linux software and you should be
well experienced in managing the same, as well as willing to learn new stuff as
the need arises. 

The IT manager would also help with general infrastructure planning and
budgeting, and be a integral part of the growth and increased stability of our
general computing operations. The position reports to the COO/CFO.

Some off-hours support may be necessary, though there is no 24 hour pager duty.
The job requires good communication skills, a willingness to learn and support
exotic new computation techniques, and a good "bedside manner" with users who
have widely varying levels of computing expertise. 

General requirements: 

- around 4-6 years experience as a sysadmin or equivalent job 
- Deep familiarity with at least one Unix variant 
- Experience with networking & VPNs 
- Ability to deal with routine problems on Macs, Windows & smartphones. 
- Good "bedside manner" with users
- Experience with scientific computing and scientific users a major plus
