We've just lost Heather Trueman to a full-time job elsewhere. We need a replacement. We are open to suggestions and/or applications. I have no idea what the official job title is, but "Software Technician" is what we've been calling it. It is part-time work, officially half- time at the moment. It will not become a full-time position, nor is it officially guaranteed to last forever. Pay is a bit over $600/month. The hours are fairly open except for backups, which are on a rigid schedule requiring punctuality. Supervision is light. THIS IS NOT A PROGRAMMING JOB. It is very much a "technician" sort of job, doing non-trivial but fairly unchallenging work. It includes doing backups, helping customers, helping staff, and generally being a "gofer", doing most any chores that don't require programming expertise. Some of the work is tedious. There is ample opportunity for learning about Unix and how it works -- Heather is leaving to become, essentially, a Unix system administrator -- but this is not a large part of the job. Intelligence, interest, and enthusiasm are much more important than previous experience or background.
