  No agencies please -- only responses from interested individuals will be 
  considered.
  ========================================================================

  We have openings for two Junior Systems Administrators to join our 24x7
  support team.  These roles will definitely involve shift work.  Some 
  travel to our other locations may occasionally be required.

  The Bunker offers a unique hosting proposition: Ultra Secure hosting --
  housed in ex-military Nuclear Bunkers with round the clock Security, CCTV
  surveillance, RAF trained guard dogs, 4 meter high fencing and razor 
  wire. We offer Tier 4 level hosting facilities outside the M25 with two 
  independent 11kV incoming mains power feeds, generator backed UPS power 
  feeds to every rack, N+1 redundant cooling systems, diversely routed, 
  resilient network bandwidth, EMP shielded machine rooms and a 
  no-compromises attitude to Computer Security. http://www.thebunker.net/

  Location: Near Sandwich, Kent, UK.

  Salary: £20,000 -- £25,000 depending on experience

  Requirements:

      * Two years Unix systems administration.  This is a Junior role,
        so we will be prepared to consider applicants without prior 
        relevant commercial experience so long as you can demonstrate  
        appropriate knowledge and aptitude. 

      * Knowledge of and significant experience of managing at least one
        of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux (ideally Gentoo) or commercial Unix such
        as Solaris.  You will need to understand how to install and 
        configure a simple server; principles of security and post-install   
        lock-down of servers; user accounts and passwords; configuring 
        network interfaces and IP numbers; installing server software 
        packages and enabling them to run at system startup; applying 
        patches and general system maintenance.

      * Experience of managing at least one of these major application 
        classes, preferably in a  commercial context.  You should be very
        familiar with applications from some of these program groups, and
        have a solid understanding of the principles involved, even if you
        have not used all of the examples listed.  Of course, the more you
        understand, the better:

           Firewalls:       ipfw, ipf, pf, iptables, checkpoint FW-1
           Web Services:    apache-1.3.x, apache-2.x, squid, PHP, 
                            apache-tomcat
           Shell Scripting: Bourne shell (/bin/sh), bash, perl
           Cryptography:    Apache-SSL, SSH, OpenVPN, IPsec, X509
           RDBMS:           MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS-SQL
           DNS:             BIND, djbdns (experience of dealing with 
                            Nominet, RIPE etc. a plus)
           Backup:          Bacula, Amanda, Legato Networker, Veritas 
                            Netbackup
           E-Mail:          sendmail, exim, postfix, qmail, dovecot, cyrus 
                            imapd, courier.
           Monitoring:      Nagios, net-snmpd, Big Brother

       * Good verbal and written communication skills: you will be expected 
         to interact with customers from the very start.  English fluency
         is essential; other EU languages would be a bonus.

       * An enthusiasm for Open Source software and a strong interest in IT
         security.

       * The ability to be self-motivated and manage your own time and 
         workload effectively.  A willingness to get stuck in, and to help
         and co-operate with the rest of the team is essential.

   We have no particular requirement for knowledge of Microsoft OSes,
   although familiarity with such will not count against you.  

   The Bunker is a small but growing company, and due to security 
   requirements, we believe in maintaining long-term relationships with
   our employees.  Wherever possible, openings for more senior positions 
   will be filled by internal promotion, so successful applicants joining
   us can expect opportunities for future progression within the company.
   While we have no more-senior positions open at the moment, we are 
   always interested to hear from people with relevant experience.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
