IT Guru & Web Admin (Calgary)
at humanresources in Calgary
We’re a 17 year old company that develops and sell robots, electronic parts, and tools to a DIY audience. We’re big into Open Source Hardware, where we share our full designs with our users, and build (real) bits from bytes.
We’re a smallish company with ~10 employees, and we’re looking for just the right sort of geek to fit in as our go-to guy for IT-related tasks.
The primary task is going to be migrating our in-house developed website to an open-source solution. This encompass practically all tasks, including software selection, migration planning, outside consultant liaising, and making it work. Don’t worry about making it pretty – our graphics designer has that well in hand. For this project, we’re in need of somebody that’s handy with:
- .NET framework (for our existing website)
- Database management
- Open-source ecommerce solutions
- Quickbooks integration
Besides this project, we need help with getting other secondary IT tasks done, including:
- Tuning/fixing internal VOIP hardware (“Hey, has that cordless handset been added to the phones yet?”)
- Mapping & updating backup procedures (“Wow, we have 4 layers of redundancy? Do they all work?”)
- Monitoring internal Linux data server & network for performance & maintenance
- Developing/tweaking custom internal apps, such as
- Getting equipment ready for exhibitions where we often like to sell things for money. Configuring remote logins & the like.
- And of course, there’s occasionally a pesky PC needing some love (with a hammer if need-be).
We have a pretty diverse staff where most everybody knows a bit about everything, so it’s not a position where you’ll be dropped in cold with little assistance.
We will consider hiring two people for this position if you have a favorite buddy who’s also looking for a job and you think you’d do well together. Hey, we have had up to 3 married couples working here at one point…
