Systems Administrator Mesmo, Inc.
About the job
The life of a GSN Digital Systems Administrator is always intense. A day could start early with on-call pages then some virtual duct tape to mitigate the failure condition. Head to the office and have coffee over a follow-up meeting with the product owners and development teams to get a repair into the pipeline. After lunch, you?ll be tweaking internal and open source tools to wrap new monitoring around the leading indicators to that failure that woke you up so it doesn?t wake you up tomorrow. After all, you have to get some sleep so you can do a code release at 7am and kickstart some virtual servers after that.
