Chris Johnson asked me to forward this on, -------------------------- Senior LAMP / Unix system administrator needed in Stuttgart, Germany. My employer, OpenBand of Virginia ([3]http://www.openband.net ) is looking to hire a senior Unix system administrator for a position in Stuttgart, Germany supporting U.S. government non-classified and public systems. The "stack" of technology involved includes Debian Linux (to be migrated to Red Hat Enterprise in the near future), Apache 1 and 2, MySQL and Postgresql, PHP, Drupal, OpenLDAP, OpenSSL, XMPP/Jabber via ejabberd, BIND 9, Postfix, Snort and some other odds and ends like a Squid proxy front-end. Expertise in most or all of these technologies is desired. Other skills required include the ability to plan and implement disaster recovery procedures, effectively document and manage system configurations, plan and implement software upgrades for services which are used worldwide and thus, 24x7, and support both development and production environments. This is a senior position, and you'll make most of the decisions on how to run the show. This position is planned as a TESA (technical expert status accreditation) position, which means the German government approves the individual's living and working in Germany on contract for the U.S. government (essentially an indefinite visa and work-permit), and generally also means the person will also be qualified for a bunch of privileges and benefits, including military base privileges (buying U.S. goods, food and gasoline at U.S. prices with no sales tax or VAT) as well as not paying income tax to the U.S. government on the first roughly $82,000 of wages one earns. If you have the chops we need, and have a desire for a bit of adventure living in Germany where the beer, wine, cheese and bread is on average much better than you what you get in the U.S. and much cheaper, too, or maybe you just like skiing in the Alps in the winter and hiking in them during the summer, whatever -- send your resume to Chris Johnson at christopher dot johnson at openband dot net.
