[NTLUG:Jobs] Certified Linux Engineer - Microsoft

[stuart yarus]

Microsoft embraces open source and offers SQL Server on Linux.  We are
looking to add a Linux guru to our team to lead our efforts to provide
the best customer support experience in the world.  I am not a
recruiter.  I am the hiring manager so that's why this post doesn't
have all the official disclaimers and HR language normally included in
such postings.  This is a Full-time, permanent position (not
contract).  We have excellent benefits and a growth mindset work
environment.  I only hire people that really know their stuff and have
a passion for technology.  The location is our Las Colinas office in
Texas.  We are not able to offer relo reimbursement, so if you live
elsewhere, you'll need to move here.

Required: US Citizenship, Linux certified, degree or experience
equivalent, excellent communication skills, and customer service
experience.

Preferred:. RDBMS experience (especially SQL Server), Technical
Support experience

If you only have development experience, and have never worked
directly with customers in the service industry (hotel, waiter, fast
food, call center, etc), it is going to be tough for you to land this
role.  We need that unique mix of deep technical skills AND
exceptional customer handling skills, because both are equally
important to us.

If you are interested, connect with me via LinkedIn and send me your
resume.  The job isn't posted out on careers.microsoft.com just yet,
so you would be getting ahead of the curve.  We have competitive
compensation and have I mentioned our EXCELLENT benefits?  The manager
isn't half bad either (as good as it gets, I mean, for a manager.  She
still expects you to show up and actually accomplish things.)
