System Administrator

In 2000, a fearless and persistent team of entrepreneurs set out to build a great audio and web conferencing technology company. We wanted to build a company that we would all be extremely proud of – one that succeeded in the market because of great products and remarkable customer service. We felt that if we could succeed at this, impassioned customer referrals would follow and our continued growth would be assured. When we began our journey, we were guided by a number of principles.

A Sys Admin’s work is never done. Keeping your infrastructure humming along like a well tuned starship requires equal parts Geordi LaForge, Kaylee Frye, and Chewbacca. From well meaning but misinformed users requesting root access to hardening gateways against DDOS attacks, it’s a job that if done right, looks like you’re doing nothing at all. Far from it, a sharp sys admin, keeps abreast of the stream of constant changes to the technology stack. Everything from disk arrays, to network switches, OS kernel updates and beyond. It’s a tough job, but building and maintaining a fast and reliable infrastructure can make or break a company. That’s where you come in.
