Description: GridMarkets is building a platform for institutions to supply their excess CPU capacity to other institutions with high computational needs using Cloud & Grid-computing technologies. However, these require significant configuration and automation for our needs. We are therefore seeking experienced and talented engineers from a (primarily Linux) systems administration background to build, harden and extend our platform. This will require you to delve deep into the workings of servers, networks, operating systems, virtualisation technologies and open source components.

Though we're looking for sys admin-types, this is NOT a support function, but also does not require deep programming skills. You will be creating the core platform using the latest open source technologies and will be expected to help drive its design and operation, as well as being a key member of the business.
