[BBLISA-jobs] Senior Linux Systems Administrator - Cambridge, MA

[Michael Bodnar]

Systems System Administrator

Sermo, the largest and fastest growing online physician-only community, is leading a movement to fundamentally change healthcare in America. Combining current technology, financial strength, and thousands of dedicated physicians, we aim to radically improve healthcare — for patients, doctors, and the industry as a whole.

We do this by freeing up the most important medical information on the planet — the knowledge living in the minds of physicians. Sermo amplifies physicians’ voices as they share their insights, building on each other’s knowledge while empowering government, industry, investors, research groups, and others to learn and adapt from this rich base of living experience in real-time.

Responsibilities

This position will be responsible for system and network administration of Sermo’s online properties and will report to the Director of Systems and Network Operations.   Significant hands-on administration, debugging, hacking, and scripting skills are required.  This role will significantly influence and contribute to infrastructure design and the site support process: application deployment and administration, performance tuning, configuration management, monitoring and alerting, fault remediation, site and network security, and intrusion defense.

This position will work very closely with our core engineering team to deploy and maintain applications written in Java and Ruby on Rails.  Our site is hosted in a Linux/MySQL environment with multiple racks of hardware in a nearby co-location facility.  Regularly scheduled on call/off hour support as a member of the site support team is required.  Working closely with engineering, we fully automate all our machine setup, configuration management, app deployment and monitoring so those sensibilities along with solid automation and scripting skills are a must.

Requirements

>   Candidates should be able to contribute to system, network and environment administration tasks day one
>    7+ years of Systems Administration experience
>    5+ years of Linux and MySQL administration.
>    3+ years of network administration (DNS, DHCP, load balancers, switches and firewalls)
>    B. Sc., BA or equivalent
>    Experience with MySQL replication and backup is a must
>    Demonstrable scripting experience (e.g. bash, perl, python)
>    Experience with Xen, Puppet, Kickstart, LDAP, Nagios, Cacti all preferred
>    Experience administrating remotely hosted sites using change management controls
>    Experience with RoR environments is a plus
>    Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot unknown problems efficiently
>    Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-changing, startup environment
>    Strong personal organization and task management skills
