They are also open to experience with VMWare or other mainstream virtualization products as long as the person is willing to train and work with KVM and Ovirt). They need someone at a junior engineer level, there will be some support involved. They will be involved with the design of the environment and then support the operations that use it (level 2 support). Right now they are cleaning up issues and problems so 50/50 engineering/support but will move more towards more engineering.

3. Linux Sys Admin Experience - need to really understand how the operating system works - i.e. know basic commands, directory structure, checking processes, disk space checking, utilization, understand IO, understand kernel performance, systems performance and load, need to know how system works so if there are problems they can troubleshoot.

* Maintain and support virtualization technologies and infrastructure
* Application and OS deployment automation, including framework development
* System provisioning and capacity planning
They have so many unique applications that they build a custom framework to do rapid deployment. There is a lot of scripting involved. It is a custom application so it requires some development. This will be 10-15% of the role. - Developing scripts, not related to virtualization. Involved with provisioning and application deployment.)

A typical day will be oriented be oriented around a small team. They will usually have issues from the offshore team. They will check emails to start off and investigate those problems.
