They both take specialized knowledge that doesn't directly help the other, tho that knowledge would definitely color work in the other field to a useful degree, while having plenty of skills and knowledge that would cross over, yet they are, ultimately, completely different. I stand by this analogy

So figured I would just check in case anyone is looking, but anyone out there in need of an Agile Coach or SAFe Program Consultant? Coming up on 9 years in Agile, 3 in SAFe, can fill in as a scrum master or product owner in a pinch but my rate might be high for those. Located in Portland and more than able to do remote. Hit me up on PMs if anyone has an interest or need and let's talk.

My company is looking for someone in the "DevOps" space to work on my team (reporting to me). Title is "Devops Engineer" (potentially "junior" depending on background and skillset). Looking for: 3-5 years related experience, some of which is CI/CD, cloud, or code/scripting related. Please understand basics of code, git, AWS, and docker (I will gladly train a lot, though, I'm not expecting the moon) And most importantly: a good attitude / ability to be proactive Us: - Startup; but with one of the better startup cultures I've been in - East Coast (mostly), but fully remote workforce (though we do have a Baltimore office) - AWS shop; currently I'm leading a transition from ECS and poorly designed mishmash of Serverless / CloudFormation into a Terraform / K8s implementation while supporting the dev team in their day-to-day The benefits: - Pay range 120k+ - Benefits are pretty good (health, retirement, pto, options, etc) - Fully remote - But you have to be okay with mostly being EST-based for work-hours PM me if interested.

From what I have learned it is extremely competitive since people who have done previous rotations are almost always given hiring preference. They will ask you what your expected salary is and you will need to be willing to be paid almost nothing.

One of my old coworkers did it. It was a dream of hers and she just kept trying. Still sounded like the equivalent of becoming a pro baseball player or something. I think she did tech training and some ancillary logistics related to tech. She got back right before the pandemic and I haven't had a chance to catch up. I bet that's a job with some stories!

Yeah, I would love to hear stories of doing computer stuff there. My first thought is that anything you can do remote would get done remote, so on-site computer stuff would probably be way too heavy on actual touching of computers. Then I remembered that making logical assumptions about IT for large organizations will steer you wrong fairly often.

A friends brother has gone down to Antarctica I think three times now? Maybe two. He missed last season because he didn't have time for the full quarantine. This year he had to quarantine for two weeks in SF and then two weeks in NZ and this was an actual quarantine where they leave food outside your door and you never see anyone. I can't recall how he wrangled the job but he runs the kitchen. He has to schedule time to use the internet for like video chat and poo poo. I interviewed for a job a few years ago that involved periodically going on a coast guard ice breaker and supporting the researchers IT poo poo. I would imagine its pretty similar. Lots of reading and watching movies and getting ripped at the gym. I got referred to it via someone sharing a job post through a local user group.

My company is looking for tier 1 SOC analysts for the MSP. Now I know, MSPs suck and I agree with you, national MSPs are terrible. We are not that. Looking for: - Someone who is comfortable with Windows/Linux and has a basic understanding of Enterprise IT. - Can Google poo poo and doesn't need to be hand held every minute of every day. This one is important, not because you won't get the training you need, but because we want people who will learn and don't need to be taught how to cat a file or read a powershell script. We want someone who can be assigned a task, can research what to do to accomplish that task, and can pull it off. Wish I had a shorter way to put that, that didn't include the words "self-starter", but here you go. - Folks with Cyber bootcamps are okay, we're not picky, most of us don't have college degrees (or didn't when we started). Us: - Engineering led 10 year old local reseller/services company - Work with dozens of clients in TOLA, and expanding every year - We don't dictate tech to clients, we adapt to their tech stack, which means our guys have their hands in everything. Therefore we teach you the basics that you can apply to each tech agnostically. We want you to be analysts, not tool monkeys. The benefits: - Pay dictated by experience, but this is an entry level role, so don't expect to be making :bezos: 50-80k - Remote or you can move to Houston if you want to be in an office - Normal company poo poo (401k, insurance, etc) - $3500+ training budget per employee per year, plus conferences. We all party at defcon each year (except the last couple I guess) -All the certifications you can throw a stick at. We're even paying for SANS certs again (jesus gently caress those got expensive) - Rotating weekly OnCall shared with the rest of the MSP so you're not OnCall every week. Most guys are on call once a quarter-ish. Also, trying to establish off hours team so no one is on call. Currently a WIP - You'll get to touch all the security technologies you want. If you want to go down a certain path, we'll help you get there. Netsec, Endpoint, SIEM, blue team, red team, forensics, IRs, etc PM me if interested or you have questions. Edit: we're also looking for lvl2/3 SOC Analysts, much the same as above, with a stronger requirement around knowledge and team leadership Mustache Ride fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Nov 8, 2021 |

anyone looking to hire a backend engineer? I figure this company has about three months of runway left before things get unstable enough to be significantly worried. I have 7 years of java/rdbms/orm design as my primary role, and ad-hoc linux sysadmin/ops/etc. Tons of daily-driving unix toolsets (sed/grep/whatever on cygwin/etc) to do mass-editing on large codebases, manipulate data for scripts and so on. Basically just whatever needs to be done - I'm a general nuts-and-bolts understander and problem solver who doesn't need to be handheld, throw me at a problem and tell me what needs doing and I can make it happen. I'm defacto a senior engineer/lead-lite although they refuse to promote internally but that's effectively what I've been doing for the last year. Master's in Compsci Theory / published a GPGPU paper in an IEEE conference proceeding. Scaled a system 40x over the last year due to COVID load and we put all our eggs in one basket on the "next project", and it's likely bringing down the company with it. Our benefits just got nuked almost entirely and the new CEO is fluffing the numbers to try and sell it before it all comes crashing down. Most likely looking for something full-time remote unless it's an absolute dream job. Can absolutely pass a background check (I work in the health sector) but not interested in clearance work or government jobs. Not reeeealllly interested in javascript/frontend at all, but at this point if it's a well-paying position with a good company with reasonably competent co-workers that's not hyper-toxic I'm not picky, that's worth something to me too.

It’ll require a security clearance and somebody with one is going to jump ahead of you in the application pool but a company will sponsor you to fill a contract. I suppose every program is different but in my experience it’s the pinnacle of low stress. I have a dozen people on my team but honestly 2-3 people could do it comfortably.

Looking for System Engineer and System Engineer Manager Area: Seattle-Tacoma area (in between there, suburbia land) No traffic if your going Bellevue and Seattle south, can't speak of the Tacoma folk. Pay: System Engineer is probably 85k ish~ + bonus 2 times a year (10-15k each.) Manager is 95k ish + bonus 2 times a year (15-20k each) Environment: Windows Shop with some Linux boxes, Hyper-V/VMware. 150 servers, 1000 workstations, 100 POS. 24-hour/7days a week business. Hotels, concerts, entertainment. A lot of niche software vendors you need to work with. Regulated environment, sometimes you might be facilitating a remote session to a system and making sure external vendors aren't doing dumb poo poo. Although this is an infrastructure role mainly, as there are other sub departments specializing in application support, helpdesk, etc, you still will assist in one way or another. What to expect: System Engineer - Project work, technical decisions and tasks, design documentation. Other work which are non official projects, and just general day to day crap like escalation and assisting other IT groups as needed. For the Manager, System Engineers report to you, you report to Infrastructure director. There is high expectations from the director and executive director for this role. You are expected to understand the work that is being done by the System Engineers (ie. Don't say you don't know what the status of a project or issue is and you'll have to get back to them) Benefits: $20 dollar meal voucher a day at one of the many restaurants on site, also an employee cafeteria. 401k is 3% not matching, just given automatically. Random stuff throughout the year (employee appreciation, Christmas gifts, Thanksgiving gifts, etc. Medical premiums are covered for yourself, if you are adding spouse/kids, it's sort of expensive. Requirements: Background check required so... no people who got in trouble with the law. I've been here for about 4 years as a System Engineer, longest place I worked. Management empowers and looks to you to make make the right technical decisions. (ie. You can tell vendor to gently caress off if he's doing something dumb.) Your expected to learn on the job, not necessarily need training for everything. It has it's pros and cons, bonus is nice. Like any other big organization, it's filled with internal drama, just come to work and focus on work and stay out of the negativity talk and you'll be fine. As we do business 24/7, your expected to work Monday to Friday regardless if a holiday is on that day or not. You can though just request the day off if you really want it. You are given extra PTO. Shoot me a PM if your interested or have any questions.

Who we are: Major Automotive parts retailer Where we are: Georgia, USA --- Job title: Application Security Engineer Juior/Senior (Possibly open to Remote) What we want: Long and short, we're building out an AppSec program. I've been a senior security engineer here for a couple years, and we need to address a lot of security issues in our application development and we just started a digital transformation, this means a lot of 'In on the ground floor' as we're going to be responsible for basically building this program from scratch. There's a lot of changes going on internally at the company as well, so this is a great place to make your mark and get some Resume glitter. Ideally, we want someone with some programming experience and some infosec experience, at least the ability to know how to look at something and call developers on coding best practices and security best practices. We're both on prem and cloud oriented so experience with both is a plus PM me for details/job description or link to apply.

looking for UK goons Who we are: Financial Software company based in the US Where are we looking: London, though the job is mostly WFH. Normal hours, down the line on-call shifts but we're pretty rarely paged. Position: Support/Devops/Monitoring/Software Janitor Looking for someone to join the software engineering group as a support engineer, it's hybrid monitoring/devops/some opportunity for tool development. This role will keep an eye on our health metrics, K8s deploys, various alerts and dashboards and respond appropriately, as well as play in our Backend API playground to fix poo poo when needed. There is a component of supporting our service team so you need to be able to explain techy things to non or semi-techy people as well as understand requests to figure out if we can hack together something for them. The job is WFH as much as you want, but we would like someone who occasionally can get in to our London office now and then. The previous person in this role transitioned to a senior QA role that we were able to facilitate by having her loaned out 50%+ of the time to learn that side of the house, so we're very encouraging to have people grow out of this job. This will work very closely with my rapid development team so there will be opportunities to do Python, JS, and Java development, but to be clear I wouldn't categorize this as a software engineering role. I am a hard-rear end about not wanting people working more than 40 hour weeks and we are pretty good about holding to that. On-call will be a thing after ~6 months or so, but our rotation right now is like 1 week on every 2 months and we average 1 page every 2-3 weeks in total so the impact is pretty low. who are we looking for: Jack of many trades techie person. Some programming is a big plus, at least be able to walk through some source code. If you can do more we'll build your responsibilities in that direction. Honestly my ideal person is someone who is trying to become a software developer but maybe needs some experience and a few more skills to get there. I've done really well with people making career switches a bit later in life, but have done well with new grads too. I'd love to get someone on a 2-3 year road to full-stack figgies. Salary: It's the UK so everything is complex, but we're targeting reasonable entry-level salaries. Around 55-60k GBP seems to be market, we'll adjust up or down depending on the candidate. In the US this role usually is $75k-$85k in Minnesota. PM me if you want more info or have any questions.
