[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 (our entire
operation is Linux based, from workstation to servers).
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.

We have recently established a local network operations
center off of Creyts Rd. in Lansing.  Our first OC3c lights
late this month which we have ordered from Verio.  We
have all major equipment in place including a 300kva
Powerware UPS, Liebert 22-ton AC, and a 250kva
Onan generator.

A range of positions are available and hirings will commence
from immediately to mid May. Positions range from shared
hosting support to hardware/managed hosting support, to
network and security positions.

At our last hiring period in December, we hired 4 individuals
and will likely require an additional 5-6 within the next 3
months, 3 of which will be hired immediately.

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
517-322-0493 at your earliest possible convenience.  A basic job
