About us: Decently large public software company made up of smaller companies that were gobbled up, including mine. They're big on margin and consistent profit, so don't expect venture capital levels of lighting money on fire, but they also haven't completely gutted us for scraps and are actively continuing to develop the product. About the job: The title is Senior Principal Consultant, which is not inflated. You're expected to be able to hold your own with IT people and executives alike. You're also expected to be able to lead a team of developers, both internal and external. You'll usually be working with one customer at a time, with typical engagements anywhere from a few weeks to a year. About the software: Knowledge Graph / Taxonomy management, with a side of fact extraction and enrichment. Prior knowledge of RDF and especially SKOS is very helpful. We aren't an OWL/SHACL platform, but customers will drat well try anyways. Important qualifications: Architect-level experience delivering successful projects. Ability and willingness to lead (herd cats). Strong background in information / knowledge management, especially the interface between business and data design. Soft skills, soft skills, soft skills. Other nice-to-knows: Query languages (all of them, but especially SPARQL, SQL, GraphQL and XQuery). XML and JSON. NoSQL databases, especially graph, document and vector databases. Agile development, Git, JIRA, Jenkins. CI/CD, Docker/K8s, all the clouds. JavaScript, Python, Java, Spark, Kafka. REST, React, frontend bullshit. LDAP, SSL, OAuth, Kerberos. PowerBI, Qlik, Databricks. I have touched all of these things and more. You will never know everything you need to do your job - you will learn it quickly or die. The good: I like the people I work with. Work/life balance is generally good. Fully remote, anywhere in the US. The pay scale says comp should be ~200-210 OTE. I make less than that but I was here before inflation started so go get that money. PTO is "unlimited" and I take at least 6 weeks / year, which seems pretty typical. Management will usually have your back and is willing to trust your judgement. You will work with the absolute bleeding edge of tech that everyone wants a piece of (yes, that likely includes Gen AI. No, we are not an AI company). The bad: We aren't FAANG and we don't pay like we are. We had bad brain drain during the acquisitions and lost a lot of great and talented people who I miss a lot. You will be the first throat your customer reaches for when they want to strangle someone. There are resources behind you, but you're expected to be the sharp pointy bit out in front. You will work with the absolute bleeding edge of tech and your customers expect it to be magic. The ugly: You will live or die by how well you can navigate your customers' office politics. You will babysit idiots and you will observe monumental stupidity that you cannot change. You need thick skin and you need to be someone people like to be around. You will work with the absolute bleeding edge of tech and you will have to explain to upper management that it is not magic while simultaneously convincing them to continue to spend money on it. Still interested? [username]@gmail or PMs. Edit: filled already, sorry! KillHour fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Apr 27, 2024 |

I have been a computer installs/provisioning/deployment technician for around the last 4-5 years, my question concerning looking for work elsewhere would be, what would be the most comparable title to look for? A+/Net+/Sec+/Server+, Endpoint Administrator Associate so far as certs go at this time. I deal more with installs, hardware troubleshooting, I haven't dealt with network infrastructure/administration directly per se. My apologies if this isn't the proper spot for this.

Yeah endpoint administrator/endpoint engineer sounds like what you're looking for, there will be hits for like Intune/autopilot or whatever flavor of endpoint management the company uses.

I interviewed someone who was an MDM specialist as well as a title. I would expect some networking to come along with MDM stuff too so at least be able to speak to it.

Location: Dublin, Ireland (or based around it and can commute to it 50% of time. Exceptional candidates may be able to negotiate remote from anywhere in Ireland) Team: Service Mesh team for public cloud Position: Senior Engineer Skillset: Own, deploy and manage Istio in our k8s clusters. Own some components which integrate in-cluster traffic with our company's global service mesh (not owned by my team). Specific skills include standard public cloud skills, but we read and understand i.e. Istio's or other Go code quite often, debug and modify it if needed. We own a handful of our own inhouse operators and controllers, we deploy a bunch of upstream ones. If you have experience with Istio mesh (+ Kubernetes, AWS or GCP, other cloud stuff), drop me a PM as my team is searching a replacement for a senior engineer who relocated to US. The team is effectively a "Service Mesh" team for the public cloud. Which means we're not a networking team but we do a lot of networking. ~12 engineers in the team, quite distributed (few engineers in Dublin, Europe, SE Asia, US). Some fun problems from this week are taking pprof dumps from istio-proxies to figure out why are they consuming so much CPU for some services, uneven distribution of xDS workloads on istiod's and (less fun) neverending saga of dealing with CI / CD processes and tech debt. I'd assume pay would be good (+ RSUs, ESPP, etc). I relocated from Ireland to US ~8 years ago but I had ~200k Euro base + RSU back then in a similar team. I'm really happy with the team, I'm not happy with the org the team is in. The org has enough bad things to say about it to fill few books. But it's a first place for me where I stayed almost 10 years. We have fun scaling problems, over a hundred K8s clusters being added this year, individual clusters nearing 2k nodes, thousands of pods of legacy app running in these clusters, with high churn rate for new pods and overall a bunch of problems coming from self-inflicted tech debt (a lot of it) - and growth of the platform. Drop me a PM and I can share more details, including job link. I can't influence hiring more than just referring for a position. kaaj fucked around with this message at 19:45 on May 9, 2024 |

A job listing at my work, an aerospace startup, might be of interest to people in this thread. They're looking for a Senior IT Systems Engineer. Responsibilities include: Design and implement cutting edge infrastructure to support fast moving development and production Continually assess IT security posture and identify areas for improvement across people, processes, and technology Support employees with their day-to-day technical support needs Design, document, and standardize best practices for IT infrastructure Provision and maintain systems, hardware, equipment, and software Basic requirements: 5+ years experience as an IT Systems Engineer or similar technical role Preferred Skills and Experience (i.e. don't be scared to apply if not all of these apply to you): Strong operating systems proficiency including Linux, Windows, and OSX Strong proficiency with public cloud systems (Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP) and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks with cloud interconnect (peering) Strong proficiency with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc) Strong proficiency with Source Control Management and CI/CD pipelines Experience designing, building, and implementing Single Sign-on (SSO) systems (SAML/OIDC) Experience with corporate multi-site VPNs or Identity-Aware Proxies Strong proficiency with server/endpoint management Ability to take initiative without specific direction to accomplish goals Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) with an emphasis on the ability to communicate technical concepts in a way those unfamiliar with them can understand Experience working with ITAR, NIST, FIPS, and FedRAMP compliant systems Experience writing scripts to automate routine tasks Good: Very good benefits package, free meals / snacks / drinks. Work/life balance is good. Management trying their best to make sure people use their unlimited PTO. I really like the people I work with and interact with across the company. Bad: Days of cheap money are gone so the pay isn't like a FAANG but still good. The company is growing rapidly and the growing pains are evident. Ugly: Job requirement is that you are on site, so no remote work. I've seen some people work out hybrid-ish schedules with their manager but YMMV. Location is in Long Beach, CA near the airport / 405. I have zero sway in the hiring for this position but I can point you in the right direction. PM me if you're interested, or just apply for the position as I'm sure with enough searching you'd find the listing somewhere online.

The requirements are almost tailor made for me, but no remote is a non-starter.
