CentralNic is seeking candidates for a position based in its City of
London head office. The position is for a Senior Operations Engineer,
reporting to the CTO.

You will be a senior member of the team that develops and maintains
CentralNic's domain name registry system, and the infrastructure that
supports it. We maintain extremely demanding service levels on services
operating at high levels of load. Your focus will be on application
deployment, system and network administration, and network maintenance
and development.

Extensive knowledge of the DNS, TCP/IP, Ethernet and Unix/Linux system
administration (specifically Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS) is
essential. Familiarity with DNSSEC, DNS servers such as BIND, NSD,
PowerDNS, and network protocols such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
and SNMP are highly desirable, as is experience of monitoring and
analytics tools such as Munin, Nagios and MRTG.

You should have at least five year's experience of managing and/or
operating an IP network in a commercial environment. Knowledge of
software development in Perl, PHP, and/or C on Unix/Linux systems is
also essential as you will be required to support and deploy
applications written in these languages. Knowledge of the RPM package
format is also desirable.

Candidates must have effective communication and team-working skills,
and good written and spoken English. Fluency in another language is also
desirable.

This role is an ideal opportunity for a committed and professional
individual to help build a robust, stable and high-performance network
infrastructure for a fast-growing and innovative company. A successful
candidate can expect to see their own role expand alongside the
company's own expansion and development.
