Location: Sydney, NS
Term: Full Time (Days, Evenings, Some on Call)
Anticipated Start Date: As Soon As Possible
If you’re looking for an uninteresting “call center” IT position – this job defiantly is NOT for you. This position is no ordinary IT role. Working for 45Drives as a Data Storage & Infrastructure Specialist means you will be directly helping some of the world’s coolest organizations (Google, Apple, Stanford University, etc.) with their data storage challenges. These organizations are changing the world, and you can help them get there – that’s not ordinary.
If you’re an IT enthusiast who loves computers, you’re going to love it here. We give you the freedom to learn new things and voice your ideas – you’re never a number here. We allow you to solve real problems (not turning it off and on again) by troubleshooting and discovering solutions. At the same time, you continue to learn valuable skills, such as working with Linux, ZFS, Ceph, and more.
If that didn’t win you over, maybe this will. We have fun! 45Drives is a place where you not only work with a team of super knowledgeable hardworking people, but we leave room for fun. We have frequent team and company outings. For example, we go sailing (racing), play soccer, hockey, yoga, have music jam nights, and other great activities developed by our social committee.
I guess what we’re saying is if you want to live in Cape Breton and have an awesome work/life balance – you should apply for this position.
