System Administration job opening at Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) in NYC
The Software Freedom Law Center is seeking a motivated systems
administrator for our small office, where we use only free and open
source software. The Systems Administrator will be responsible for three
main areas of work: systems maintenance, user support, and systems
development.
Our existing systems are a collection of Debian servers that provide
central services to the office. In addition to Debian, we use:
* Asterisk
* Xen
* Postfix/DSPAM/dovecot
* OpenVPN
* rsync, for backups
* Apache
* Squid
* OpenLDAP
as well as a number of other systems. Ideal candidates will have
experience with most of these components and the ability to quickly
master the ones they know less about. As our new Systems Administrator,
you will be responsible for maintaining and rebuilding our servers as
necessary so some knowledge of server components and hardware
configuration will be needed. You should have experience with firewall
management and secure network design. Experience with low-latency
bandwidth shaping preferred. Programming experience with Perl and Python
will also be necessary for maintaining legacy systems.
In addition to the servers, you will also be responsible for supporting
10-15 desktop users with their daily use of free software. Additional
help with this activity is available around the office and many users
are self-supporting for local system issues. All office user machines
are Thinkpads running either Debian or Ubuntu so experience with this
hardware and software is a plus.
We intend to continue to improve our free software technology for
running our law practice. There are many challenging projects we'd like
to do and about which we hope you will be excited. Experience working
with software development in addition to systems administration is
therefore a big plus.
Position includes full benefits.
