[ale] [JOB] System Engineer II for CNN

[Chris Farris]

I can't recall if there is a specific jobs list or not, but based on
the number of prefixed [OT] in my ALE folder I'm not feeling bad about
forwarding this.... :)

For a large company Turner is a pretty awesome place to work. I'm not
in HR so I can say things like we get lots of discounts on gift-cards,
free Braves/Hawks vouchers each year, Summer fridays, extra holidays
sprinkled about, work-from-home days. Hours are pretty flexible, and I
like the hiring manager.

There is a downside though. I'm on a sister-team from this position,
so you'd have to deal with me on occasion. We're almost all
RHEL/Centos with some OSX and Windows mixed in so you need to be
OS-flexable.

detection, VPN, secure shell, networking, network infrastructure,
