Job Description:

PayPal is a financial intuition with millions of customers globally using their financial services. They run a 7x24 Network Operation Command center and have a project that requires a contractor to come in and back fill an internal SA's position for 6-9 months while the internal employee works on a special project. Our contractor will be part of the NOC/Operations team here in Scottsdale. Approximately 12 people are on the team. This contract will require a seasoned SA (System Administrator)..
Scope of work: The contractor will provide technical support for their internal groups and vendors for their Live Site.

Our contractor needs to be a heavy hitter in the following technologies: he/she will support Red Hat Enterprise 5.4 and Solaris 10 on HP, SUN, and IBM hardware. From a day to day perspective our contractor will monitor servers, restart them, and troubleshoot disc issues such as "them being full or servers failing". Very typical Sys Admin duties but in a large enterprise environment with heavy Linux and Solaris. If our contractor has basic Perl for scripting it's a bonus. Veritas is used for their utility tool, but that will be taught on the job. They do have MAC workstations therefore our contractor will be able to get up to speed a lot quicker if he/she has experience working on MACs.
