Hey Fediverse, I'm looking to get .

Honestly I would prefer to work in an office environment in Calgary because it would help me focus. I also am thinking I want to work for an organization that betters the world and I'm ok with making less if that's the case.

I have tons of experience building, operating, and optimizing IT infrastructure, in particular hypervisors, operating systems, and storage, both primary and backup. I'm also good at bridging business and IT

@virtuous_sloth oh, hi, fellow #Calgarian !!

I don't know anything specific, but I recommend checking out the University of Calgary (careers.ucalgary.ca/), they've been going hard into that area recently and are fairly regularly hiring in the IT dept.

Its a pretty great place to work too (and there really good Vietnamese subs on campus, just saying...).

@crb Woah, thanks for the pointer. Will do!

@virtuous_sloth Have you considered Clio (clio.com/careers)? They have a Calgary office, are not socially damaging, and have some fun IT and infra challenges. I can't say if it would be a good fit for your skill set, not knowing much about you, but it might be worth a look.

ClioCareersWe’ve grown to centaur status by prioritizing our culture, investing in our people, and attracting top industry leaders. How will you grow at Clio?

@fimmtiu
I have not yet, but will now.

I appreciate the pointer.

Thanks!

@virtuous_sloth No problem! Happy to answer any questions about them; I've been working there for over a decade. Feel free to DM me if so.

You might find established local non-profit entities welcome people such as you.
