job opening at reuters in boston

[Chris Marget]

greetings fellow list members.  i hope a job posting is
welcome here...

my employer is looking to fill a customer-facing position with
someone who describes themselves as a unix sysadmin, in spite
of the occasional requirement to touch end user windows boxes.

actual experience with market data systems is not relevant.
frankly, i don't think they expect to find it.

the official job description is pasted below.  questions can
be sent to me, resumes to: reutersjob at marget.com

thanks.
