but our largest systems are running mod_perl, so finding someone with
expertise in that would be great. Job posting follows.

Experienced Systems Administrator
We Also Walk Dogs
Location: Anywhere
http://www.actionkit.com/

We need an experienced Linux systems administrator to help our clients
-- progressive groups like MoveOn.org, Democracy for America and
BoldProgressives.org -- change the face of politics.

You will be responsible for deploying new applications and machines,
building tools to improve the performance of our deployments, and
responding to (and eliminating!) on-call alerts. We manage our own and
our clients' growing infrastructure of 30 physical servers and 50-60
virtual machines.

You must have experience managing production server clusters. You
should also be familiar with most or all of these technologies:
CentOS/RHEL, Perl, Python, Django, Subversion, MySQL, memcached,
monitoring systems like Nagios or Ganglia, configuration management
tools like Chef, and virtualization layers like Xen. You also need to
know network configuration and equipment: firewalls, routers, load
balancers, and the like.

You must be a self-starter, capable of taking a project from start to
finish without constant direct supervision.

You need to be able to communicate clearly with your colleagues and
clients via email, IM and phone.

This is a full-time contract position.
