You guys are seeing this first; I know there are some serious IT chops around this place:

IEEE Standards, in Piscataway, NJ, USA, is looking for experienced IT contractors in a Linux environment. The work varies but strong skills in one or more of these areas are required: system programming, web application development, systems administration.

The technical environment is predominantly Open Source. The human environment is collegial, and the work is interesting. Your contributions will likely be visible to the outside world and not buried within a closed corporate environment. This work may be done by a telecommuter, though some travel (infrequent) may be required.

Your resume should include experience in several of these areas:

Apache, mod_perl, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Perl, Ruby, Java, postfix, UNIX systems programming, systems administration, failover/reliability design or administration, configuration management, security administration, infrastructure monitoring.

The successful sysadmin candidate will have several years' experience administrating production services and systems. Command-line administration and scripting skills are required.

The classic "jack of all trades” admin/programmer or developer may move among projects doing task-oriented assignments or go deep on one project. A good understanding of the interactions among multiple architecture elements and protocol layers is useful as he/she designs, modifies, or administrates various elements of the infrastructure.

USENIX or O'Reilly Open Source conference attendance or training is usually relevant.

Please send your resume and required compensation to work@standards.ieee.org.
