[SGVLUG] Fwd: [ANSS-netops] USGS Pasadena Linux IT Specialist Position

[Rae Yip]

FYI, there's a Linux sysadmin / devops position open with the USGS for the
ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning system.

They're a good team that I have worked with in the past, and the mission is
one that could save lives. They could use someone who wants to make a
difference, enjoys working with Open Source, and is interested in
scientific computing.

Hope your holidays have been bright, and have a happy New Year.

-Rae.

Hi All,

Please help us spread the word about an IT position open with the USGS
office in Pasadena, and apply if you are interested!

The USGS Earthquake Science Center Pasadena Offices is hiring IT
Specialists to support the mission of the Earthquake Early Warning Project.


The USGS is seeking IT professionals with experience and skill operating
and maintaining software, hardware, and operating systems in a Linux
environment.  Applicants who have experience with Linux operating
systems, modern code management tools, and modern operating systems
maintenance protocols will receive consideration for this opportunity.
The successful candidates will support the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early
Warning (EEW) system (shakealert.org), a mission-critical, distributed
system that rapidly detects earthquakes and generates and issues alerts
to institutional users and the public.

The position is part of a USGS-university team that operates and
maintains the ShakeAlert system; a 24/7 Earthquake Early Warning
system.  We are designing it to distribute rapid warnings of expected
strong shaking when an earthquake occurs. ShakeAlert is a
multi-organization cooperative project to build and operate a public EEW
system for the California, Oregon and Washington.

ShakeAlert is a complex set of geographically distributed machines and
modules that intercommunicate via a message broker.  It generates
real-time earthquake products that are distributed via public-facing
servers. ShakeAlert interacts with other complex USGS-supported systems
including the ANSS Quake Management System (AQMS) and Earthworm.  All
work is accomplished in a Linux and open-source environment. The
operational setting includes real-time data streams from hundreds of
field sensors telemetered over a heterogeneous WAN, many distributed
servers running application codes and scripts, and transactions with
Oracle and MySQL databases.

The opening for this full-time, permanent position (GS-2210-9/11/12) is
at the Pasadena office of the Earthquake Science Center.  US citizenship
is required.  Only online applications will be accepted.  The federal
government is an equal opportunity employer. Please, apply only if you
have experience that is relevant to this opportunity.

The deadline for applications is no later than Wednesday, January 4, 2017.
