Hi all, I'm looking to help my current company find my replacement. Below
is a copy of the job spec. Please contact Martha Bradford
mbradford at medivector.com     and include BBLISA in the subject line to get
her attention.


First, my own summary of the job - It's a jack of all trades style sys
admin job.


There is end user support, though there isn't too much as the users are on
average competent and able to help themselves. You would be reporting
directly to the CIO, who is an awesome, smart, guy that gives you as much
autonomy as you're comfortable with. He's tech savy, but you would
definitely be the last tier of support.


Local servers with ESXi, vCenter for some but not all. Two off-site
datacenter locations, one colo, one cloud-based. Mixed Windows and Linux
environment. Small team of developers who need infrastructure support. A
few macs, but no need to support.


Networking is meraki for wireless APs and POE switches. pfSense for
firewalls. Dual-WAN, failover/failback configuration. Client to site and
site to site vpn handled via OpenVPN through pfSense.


Some basic monitoring with Nagios (Check_MK / OMDistro), backups are
mixture of UEB, rsync to nfs targets, quarterly off-site rotation, etc.


Kaspersky Security Center / End Point 10 for end-user anti-virus.


Microsoft domain is all Server 2012 R2, a few legacy window servers exist
for applications in production. Network is in good shape, but things like
DR, backups and best practices can always be improved.


Plenty more to be said - lots of different experience, pay and  benefits
are very good. Great position for someone who likes to try everything,
probably early to mid career, as always, must learn fast and have a good
desk-side manner. Don't worry about the "Senior" portion in the job spec.


Regards,

 Andrew
