YAJ(ob)T: Infrastructure/Network Engineer needed in Atlanta

[Descartes]

My firm is increasingly busy and we're steadily growing. We're needing more and more people to support current and new clients.

In this thread I was looking for development talent. We still need people! One of our large projects at a major client (big 4 accounting firm; looks good on the resume) needs an infrastructure/network engineer to work on our project and others.

This will be in the midtown Atlanta area with normal working hours. We're currently looking to offer ~$50 per hour for the right person. Here is our official job posting:

**********************

Note that it is initially contract, but we're plenty busy with projects so you'd have the option to continue with my company or perhaps join the big 4 firm if that's what you wanted. As I said above, having this client on your resume in itself opens up a lot of other opportunities.

We're looking to get this person on the project as soon as possible, so if you're at all interested please feel free to PM me and/or email me.

Finally, if you know anyone that might be interested please feel free to forward this information. As I've promised in my other threads, I can personally extend to you a bonus of at least $1000 if we bring someone on. It's hard to find good people. If you don't live in Atlanta but would like to then still please contact me; I can help you out with relocation.

Thanks!

An evening bump. I probably won't bother with a sticky for this thread as we already have quite a few people ready to move on this, but I've been trying to extend opportunities for ATOTers as much as possible. No luck so far though.
