We manage web servers, networks and other IT infrastructure, whether physical, dedicated
or cloud. We build long-term relationships with our customers and take the time to understand
their applications, their technical needs and their business needs. We customize things as
required to meet our clients’ needs, but also keep things as standard as we can for reasons
that we're sure you already understand.
The Role:
Do you like making order out of chaos? Are you effective when managing lots of little projects,
but also have a tendency to make improvements that you didn't originally have in mind? Are you

only put your current skills to work, but to learn the newest technologies to hit the market?

* Hands-on experience with different hosting types (in-house, dedicated, cloud).
* Strong scripting ability, preferably in Ruby and/or Python - bonus points for ability in more than one language!
