Repost: UK Informix DBA role

Ardenta is looking for an experienced Informix administrator to be based at its offices in Sunbury, SW London. The essential skill sought are strong (many years) experience in IDS 10 or 11 based on UNIX or Linux systems, allied to strong inter-personal skills and the ability to write reports (such as incident reports) and presentations in a clear and logical manner. Other skills of great interest are strong UNIX or Linux administration skills, familiarity with SAN technology and familiarity with networks. Experience in - sorry, everybody ;-) - Oracle would be a great advantage too. The role will involve helping support Ardenta's customers, mainly running Informix systems. Ardenta's philosophy is be proactive wherever possible, so a typical day might involve some reactive work, but hopefully more looking a trends and new business initiatives and proposing technical solutions to these. Most of Ardenta's service clients have also taken their infrastructure design, and often hardware, from Ardenta so there is also an opportunity to engage in pre-sales consultancy for new and existing customers. Although Ardenta's customers are dotted all over the world the role is primarily Sunbury-based, with home working for out-of-hours activities, and the occasional on-site visit. You would be working in a team of 15 technical and service delivery staff. The position offers a competitive salary and benefits package and the opportunity to gain exposure in wider infrastructure technologies such as SAN, networking and performance analysis, as well as Oracle and other DBMSs.
