We are looking for a developer who enjoys and understands the *nix command line, and who is capable of designing and implementing large complex systems across our infrastructure. Your duty will be to provide support to the systems administration group as well as interface with our corporate development team as necessary.

- PHP
- Perl
- Python

The problems you will face will involve a complex infrastructure and large amounts of data.
