[Nolug] Linux systems administrator position

Good news! Puryear IT is looking for a Linux geek. You'll be working
directly for me with our clients to help build and manage Linux and UNIX
solutions. Some experience with Windows is important because we often
work with and maintain Windows-based solutions as well, including Active
Directory.

You need to be willing to work in Baton Rouge, since the majority of our
clients are here, but we also do a good bit of telecommuting. If you
don't live in Baton Rouge that is fine, but, again, the work itself is here.

This is an excellent position to really hone your skills since we do
some really cool work, especially in network security and identity and
access management.

Interested? Or know someone that is? Contact me directly at
jobs@puryear-it.com with your cover letter, resume, and salary
requirements. We are open to undergrad and grad students so long as you
can put in the hours.
