[GLLUG] OT: Linux Jobs in the Lansing Area

[Matthew Hill]

Hello,

Forgive the off topic post, I thought it related enough to warrant
posting to the list.

I am the owner of Liquid Web Inc ( http://www.liquidweb.com )
and I've written a couple of times seeking employees
from the Lansing area with Linux experience.
I've made a number of hirings in the past and due to some major
moves we've made recently I'll be requiring quite a few more
qualified individuals.

We have previously co-located our hardware in a partnered NOC
in Scranton, PA where we house in the range of 130 servers
transferring 30-40 mbps of bandwidth.  Within the past month
we have acquired a local facility off of Creyts Rd. which
we are currently rennovating into a datacenter.

The space is over 5,000 square feet and will contain an OC3c
connection with Verio which is already ordered and awaiting
loop install.  Beyond that our facility will initially include
a 20 ton AC unit, and a 250kw diesel backup generator.

A range of positions are available and hirings will commence
from immediately to mid January. Positions range from shared
hosting support to network operators/engineers.  We plan
on hiring a minimum of 15 people within the next 4 months.

I encourage anyone who has interest including those who have applied in 
the past to contact me at "matthew@liquidweb.com" or fax resume's to
517-393-5131 at your earliest possible convenience.  A basic job
