  • Working experience with configuration management (Puppet/Chef/CFEngine) and monitoring (Ganglia/Nagios) systems.
  • Comfortable owning the infrastructure and pragmatically solving problems dealing with complex systems, even when the only error messages are in hex and you're at the far end of a 1200 baud telnet link
  • At ease wearing lots of hats in a heterogeneous environment. Working with web servers & databases, Windows and Unix, hardware and software.
  • Excellent command of written and spoken English,
