Re: [PLUG] This is not a job offer

I know a couple people over at AWeber and they love it from what I gather, seems like a real cool place.

Hi Julien,

Sounds like a nice environment, so I am attaching my resume. Happy to meet up at a PLUG meeting or over coffee sometime. I live in Center City, just started coming to PLUG this year.

I used to play some guitar! And more professionally, have some solid CFEngine experience managing hundreds of Linux servers/workstations (plus a few Solaris boxes). Lots of other great experience, including security-related (eg Checkpoint Firewall).

Regards,
Marty

There is a couple of very tech oriented companies around philly, and I happen to work for one of them: AWeber.
I'm a security/system engineer there, working mostly on making our Linux network more secure. The sysadmin team is rather small: 4 sysadmins, 2 security/sysadmins. Mostly a young team, entirely Linux-centric, specialized in web hosting and emails infrastructures (it's the core of AWeber's business).

There is a lot of things that I like at AWeber. The technology is great (right now I'm spending ~40% of my time integrating netfilter/iptables with Chef, and next we'll be preparing a BGP setup for dual datacenter) but above everything else, the total absence of bullshit is probably the most important. No politics, no windows-locked-workstations, etc... Just technology and a bunch of nice, friendly and tech hungry people.

We play foosball and basketball at lunch. We even have a band ! (I play bass)

The purpose of my email (yes there's one): We are not officially looking for new sysadmins, but if you have strong Linux knowledge and the outline above is the kind of environment you are looking for, then please PLEASE shoot your resume over. We can really use a couple more smart people around here !

(oh, and, I also know that we're looking for web devs python/_javascript_ oriented... just sayin)

Cheers,
Julien
