We have an opening for a Systems Administrator to join The Bunker 24/7 support team. The role is a full-time, shift-based permanent position located at our data centre in Ash. Applicants should be UK or EU citizens or resident in the UK and with all required work permits.
Location: Near Sandwich, Kent, UK.
Salary: Depending on experience.
Requirements:
- Knowledge and significant experience of managing at least two of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux (ideally Gentoo) or commercial Unix such as Solaris. You will need to understand how to install and configure a server; principles of security and post-install lock-down of servers; user accounts and passwords; configuring network interfaces, IP numbers, networking and basic routing; installing server software packages and enabling them to run at system startup; applying patches and general system maintenance.
- Experience of configuring and managing a range of these major application classes, preferably in a commercial context. You should be very familiar with applications from several of these program groups, and have a solid understanding of the principles involved, even if you have not used all of the examples listed. Of course, the more you understand, the better:
- Firewalls: ipfw, ipf, pf, iptables, checkpoint FW-1
- Web Services: apache-1.3.x, apache-2.x, squid, PHP, apache-tomcat
- Shell Scripting: Bourne shell (/bin/sh), bash, perl (Ability with other programming languages a plus)

- E-Mail: sendmail, exim, postfix, qmail, dovecot, cyrus imapd, courier
- Monitoring: Nagios, net-snmpd, Big Brother
- While our primary focus is on Open Source systems, we do have a number of clients who encapsulate Windows based platforms within Open Source based firewalls. Experience in installing and managing Windows based systems would be of benefit.
- Good verbal and written communication skills: you will be expected to interact with customers from the very start. English fluency is essential; other EU languages would be a bonus.
- An enthusiasm for Open Source software and a strong interest in IT security.
- The ability to be self-motivated and manage your own time and workload effectively. A willingness to get stuck in, and to help and co-operate with the rest of the team is essential.
The Bunker is a growing company, and due to security requirements, we believe in maintaining long-term relationships with our employees. Successful applicants joining us can expect opportunities for future progression within the company.
