Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
I'm part of the Harvard School of Engineering[1] Computing Group[2]
and we've just lost one of our senior team members to Red Hat where
he is now the Fedora Cloud Architect[3], so we're looking for
someone awesome to join the team.<br>
<br>
The official details are all here:<br>

<br>
but the skinny is that this is a great group of people doing cool
stuff in an exciting atmosphere. We're Linux-heavy, and not just on
the server side. Our constituency is a mix of undergraduate and
graduate CS/Engineering students, postdoctoral researchers and
faculty. Lots of them run Linux on their laptops.<br>
<br>
There is good flexibility to define the position based on the right
person's interests and abilities. The main things are that we need
someone who has vision, provides leadership, is broadly competent,
personal, and professional. A tick list of technology skills is
secondary.<br>
<br>
Some highlights:<br>
<br>
* Over the summer we deployed OpenStack[4] and are now providing
student self-serve VM provisioning, and slowly moving our VMWare and
KVM VMs to OpenStack management.<br>
<br>
* If you've heard of edX[5], our group is leading the Harvard
deployment (and involved in the development)<br>
<br>
* We're into exciting work on multimedia content capture and
distribution using Matterhorn[6]<br>
<br>
* We run a GIT hosting service (gitorious)

<br>
* We have two HPC clusters (one 800 core w/ infiniband, the other
200 core w/ IB and GPUs)<br>
<br>
* We manage a mix of research-oriented servers<br>
<br>
* We are planning for a ~1 PB storage system for some data intensive
computing<br>
<br>
Get in touch with me directly if you have questions or would like to
come in for an informal meet and greet.<br>
