<h1>FSFE is looking for a systems administrator and
|
|
architect</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>Please note that this position is no longer open for
|
|
applications.</strong><br />
|
|
The Free Software Foundation Europe was
|
|
founded in 2001 and has gone through a tremendous growth
|
|
since then, both in the number of volunteers and staff, and
|
|
also in the complexity of our technical infrastructure and
|
|
the number of services we run and offer for both internal and
|
|
external use. We're currently looking for a system
|
|
administrator and architect that, for a limited time, can
|
|
support us in our work to migrate our services to a new
|
|
infrastructure.</p>
|
|
<p>The migration project will move our services to a new
|
|
infrastructure and revise the services we currently offer.
|
|
The goal of the project is to make the infrastructure more
|
|
coherent, with less dependencies, and with a separation of
|
|
services that make it easier for volunteers to manage and
|
|
help the organisation manage individual services in the long
|
|
term.</p>
|
|
<h2>Who we're looking for</h2>
|
|
<p>We're looking for a senior system administrator or systems
|
|
architect that can work in close coordination with our
|
|
existing system administrators, staff and volunteers, to
|
|
support our migration project through all of its stages,
|
|
starting with the archaeological challenge of creating a high
|
|
level overview of our services and their dependencies, and
|
|
ending with the migration of our core services. Key skills
|
|
will include technical documentation, virtualization
|
|
environments, MTAs (Postfix), database servers and web
|
|
services.</p>
|
|
<h2>What we need to do</h2>
|
|
<p>The person we're looking with will be tasked with the
|
|
following. Please note that the first steps are more detailed
|
|
than the latter steps, and we'll work together to
|
|
continuously revise this plan as we go. All of this will also
|
|
involve coordination with others, and a lot of information,
|
|
especially for the first parts, can be gotten from existing
|
|
documentation or from other system administrators.</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Create a high level service documentation, with a focus
|
|
on (for each service):
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Authentication mechanisms</li>
|
|
<li>Code base (custom work, patches, or off the shelf
|
|
components)</li>
|
|
<li>Interdependencies with other services</li>
|
|
<li>Physical / virtual infrastructure location</li>
|
|
<li>Usage (estimate usage from logs etc, as well as a
|
|
brief synopsis of who the main users are:
|
|
external, internal, etc)</li>
|
|
</ol></li>
|
|
<li>Additional documentation that may be needed for
|
|
specific services (such as mail), the nature of which will
|
|
need to be discussed and determined at a later time, when
|
|
the first high level overview is complete.</li>
|
|
<li>Analyse the current services and propose a new
|
|
architecture, focusing on the services and the dependencies
|
|
between them.</li>
|
|
<li>Provide a migration plan that detail the steps needed
|
|
to be taken in order to successfully migrate our existing
|
|
services to the new architecture and infrastructure.</li>
|
|
<li>Migrate, and support the migration, of core services to
|
|
it, including shutting down and removing old services in an
|
|
orderly fashion.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<h2>Location and travel</h2>
|
|
<p>The FSFE system administrators work largely remotely, and
|
|
most of the work can be done from anywhere in the world. It's
|
|
beneficial for communication that the person helping us is
|
|
roughly located in Europe, and one or two trips may be needed
|
|
to meet with other system administrators and staff.</p>
|
|
<h2>More information</h2>
|
|
<p>If you think that you're the right person, know someone who
|
|
is, or just want more information, you're more than welcome to
|
|
reach out to FSFE's executive director
|
|
Jonas Öberg, preferrably by email to
|
|
<email mailto="yes">jonas@fsfe.org</email>.
