Cache Systems Engineer (Remote)

J2 Interactive is looking for qualified candidates to help us provide systems engineering, administration and support to our various clients. You can think of this job as a combination of hardware/systems architect, systems administrator, and DBA. It requires the kind of foresight, reliability, responsiveness, and dedication that you'd expect in someone whose responsibilities include making sure systems run smoothly and without interruption. But the right people for this job will also bring creativity, problem-solving ability, and a knack for developing and communicating architectural proposals to both a technical and non-technical audience.

Most of our work is in the healthcare space, particularly with the InterSystems technology stack (Caché, Ensemble,HealthShare, and TrakCare). So if you have experience deploying and administering those products, we welcome you to apply. Candidates who have administeredsystems for Caché-based healthcare applications like Epic or GE Centricity are also an ideal fit. At the OS level, most of our clients are on Unix, with AIX and various flavors of Linux the most popular choices. If you are a pure Microsoft person, this position is less likely to be a fit for you.

Though our headquarters is located in Charlestown (Boston), MA, this is a telecommuting position open to anyone who's eligible to work in the US.

Candidates must be willing to submit to a background check. No recruiters or third party solicitations please.

Desired Skills and Experience

The most important qualities we're looking for are:

• 3+ years of experience as a systems engineer/administrator in a healthcare environment, including management of InterSystems (Caché)-based applications
• Expertise in at least one major Unix operating system (Linux and AIX preferred)
• Experience planning, configuring, and managing high-availability and disaster recovery solutions at both the OS and database level
• Experience using VMWare VSphere to create, manage, and monitor guest systems
• Experience with Cloud System Deployments (Azure, AWS, GCP, etc.)
• Excellent written and oral communication skills; thoughtful and proactive communication to teammates, clients, and third parties
• Ability to work directly with technical and non-technical management (including customers as well as software and hardware vendors)
• Uncompromising dedication to quality, security, reliability, scalability, and all that other good stuff

Other experience that would be desirable, but not strictly necessary:

• Healthcare integration or development projects (particularly HL7/C-CDA integration)
• Networking and security protocols and troubleshooting (VPN, SSL, etc.)
• Storage systems and large databases
• Familiarity with agile development methodologies
