The Technology Services department of Multnomah Education Service 
District (MESD) has an opening for a Systems Administrator/Developer.

MESD Technology Services is a fun, challenging, creative place to work. 
We constantly develop new and innovative approaches to expand and 
enhance our services while controlling costs. Schools' budgets keep 
shrinking while demands for technology keep growing. Our team's job is 
to provide a big bang for a reasonable buck.

MESD covers a lot of ground. In the backend, we are predominately Linux 
with a little HP-UX and Solaris. Internal applications are written in 
Python/PHP/Perl with Postgres and Oracle databases. MESD has a large and 
fast wide area network covering 80 sites with 100Mbps or greater 
connectivity. MESD and partners provide ISP services to over 250,000 
staff and students. The schools we support are highly heterogeneous, 
with a mix of MacIntosh, Windows, and Linux.

This is an environment where talented, friendly, flexible, creative, 
problem-solving people thrive.

The job description and application are available at:
