• Are you passionate about Linux and IT in general?

• Do you want to take that enthusiasm into a new and exciting environment?  

• Do you feel like you could be doing more with your skills?

If the answer to these questions is yes, you need to seriously consider working for us at our Marlborough facility in the Waihopai Valley.  Working here is as much about making a positive lifestyle choice as it is about carrying out satisfying work. Whether you want to enjoy the great outdoors, raise a family or take advantage of the high sunshine hours at the centre of New Zealand’s wine industry, Marlborough should be the choice for you and your family.

We know that there are sometimes things that can make jobs difficult. It could be a long commute, a focus on profit rather than doing things properly or being tied to your cell phone for tech support. Here’s an opportunity to enjoy a short drive to work through picturesque vineyards where you’ll help make a real difference to New Zealand’s security and you can’t work from home. Sound good? Read on…

What you'll bring to the position:

• A passion for Linux and IT including system admin skills.
• Relevant work experience and hopefully some formal training like a tertiary qualification.
• Enthusiasm for solving complex IT problems.
• Enjoyment working in a team environment.

We refer to a person with this expertise as a Cryptologic Engineer.  Don’t let the word ‘Cryptologic’ spook you (see what we did there).  It’s not code breaking but you can be expected to do some unique things with your computing / networking / problem solving skills.

What you get from us:

• Unique and extremely interesting work that you don’t get to do anywhere else.
• Career and training opportunities.
• Open source culture and community.
• Competitive salary appropriate to qualifications and experience.
• Private medical insurance and vision care benefits.
• We have cookies (actually scones, but you get the idea).

These are some of the skills that the successful applicant will have (not all of them, but we’re always hopeful):

• Linux system administration CCentOS, Ubuntu, RHEL).
• Scripting and programming.
• Virtualisation (vSphere, libvirt and other hypervisor technologies).
• Databases (MySQL, Postgres, MariaDB, Hadoop).
• Puppet, Foreman or similar automation and configuration tools.
• Complex multi-server processing systems (design, deploy, support).
• Storage area networks and networking across a variety of vendors.
• Cloud and web technologies (just defining 'Cloud' would be enough).
• Data centre support experience including racking, stacking and monitoring.
• Practical electrical and electronics experience.
• Interoperability (even if you have to DIY from time to time).

Did you read anything about supporting Windows based systems above? No you didn't. We're sure you can and that's a useful skill, but that won't be what impresses us.

You will join a technology centric team who collectively do amazing things with computing and electronic technology, but you should also be comfortable solving complex problems on your own. You know that git and subversion can mean more than one thing, PKI could be part of a KPI and you are quite happy to roll up your sleeves and bust out your strace skills when the going gets tough.

We're a little bit different. The work is always challenging and it's important for the security of New Zealand.
