Hi,
We ( DSource Plc ) are looking to hire 3 ( three ) sysadmins in India.
I am going to try and cover the details, briefly - feel free to send
questions my way; either onlist or offlist. Also, if you know someone
who might be interested,feel free to forward this email to them.
Job Spec:
While the job is primarily system admin and network management, there is
a fair bit of 'script coding' that is also required.
Required:
The Indian operation is just starting off, so initial work will require
a fair bit of remote 'pairing'. We are also going to be spending a few
months in India onsite at a client, so expect to be thrown right into
the firezone.
Technologies that should not be strange to you : Linux ( we are a 100%
CentOS / RHEL shop ), Xen, selinux, puppet ( and/or cfengine ), isp
grade networks ( routing, packet monitoring and performance testing ),
high performance database's, high density storage, large data volume
handling.
You *must* be able to write scripted code in ruby. Python and php are
also handy to know - but not required - since lots of our legacy stuff
is done in python and php ( dont ask, the php stuff was before my time
... ). We dont really care about what degree you have. we also dont care
if you got 60% or 90% in your exams or what certificates you carry along
with you. But, you need to be able to communicate in English, must have
atleast a few years of working in a related environment. Common sense
and an ability to rationally think are, however, critical! General
sysadmin skills are essential ( we will test you on these ). People with
a well thumbed copy of 'unix power tools' should definitely apply!
All assignments are permanent, full time and come with the govt
requirements for benefits etc.
Location:
We are looking for people based in Pune, Delhi and Chennai as a base.
However, for people based in Delhi and Chennai there will be a frequent
( not exceeding 4 working days / month ) requirement to travel to Pune.
Type of Employer:
The Company is a infrastructure management consulting service, where we
offer systems and network services to clients. We have 27 people working
full time and 8 people part-time in the UK. And a further 6 people in
Australia. Agile and XP practises are a cornerstone of the management
style ( in that there is really no management, the entire organisation
tree is very flat ).
Salary and Benefits:
You get paid pretax's Rs.80,000/- a month. We expect you to work 38 hrs
per week. We also only work half-days on Wednesdays. There maybe a
requirement to work weekends, but only after suitable advance notice (
mostly to handle infrastructure outage that cant happen during the work
week ). There is a 6 months trial run period, wherein you get to see
what we do and if you want to work with us, and we get to see if we want
you working with us.
Interview process:
1. Send me a CV.
2. We call you for a quick chat on the phone. ( 20 min ).
3. Have a longer ( 3 hrs estimate ) sysadmin 'pair' session.
4. Fix a time and have a longer ( 1 hr ) developer 'pair' session.
5. People get hired. ( 1st week of June 2007 )

[1] - Agencies and head hunters are not welcome to reply to me, we dont
and wont hire people through agencies.
