SoftQuad Inc., the leader in UNIX-based production publishing software, needs a system administrator to look after a network of a dozen UNIX, MacIntosh and other small computers with a number of ascii terminals and a variety of laser printers. We are accepting applications from both experienced UNIX system administrators and experienced unix users who wish to develop their system administrator skills. The ability to write device drivers is not a necessary skill for this position. It's no exaggeration to say that the most important personal skills are persistence, organization, responsibility, tact, and the ability to understand and solve new problems. If you can keep yourself organized, work well despite interruptions, aren't afraid to wield a screwdriver occasionally, and can do so without destroying hardware, send me your resume. As the UNIX system administrator you will be responsible for: - monitoring system security - monitoring disk space and usage - monitoring network and dialup connections - connecting and debugging terminal and printer connections - installing software and hardware upgrades - writing and debugging printer interfaces and other system interface software - worrying about electronic mail (B.S. in Mailer Science optional) and news - evaluating vendor offerings, selecting vendors, and interacting with them to purchase equipment. - troubleshooting all problems related to systems, including calling vendors for service as needed Experience and education are important, but not so much as attitude. If you are interested send your resume to Bud Greasley, bud@sq.com, SoftQuad Inc, 720 Spadina Avenue, Toronto M5S 2T9, (416) 963-8337.
