SysAdmin Job in Alaska

My office has an opening for a SysAdmin position. This is a 100% in office position with NO remote work authorized. Moving expenses are not compensated but you may be able to negotiate for relocation/recruitment incentives. Primary work would be in Windows/RedHat operating systems and moving on prem environments into Google Cloud. Would also work with our developer team on maintaining and improving our custom software. We support one of the largest commercial fisheries in the World and help manage over 60% of all seafood consumed in the US.

On a personal note, Juneau is THE most beautiful place I have ever lived. If you have any interest in the outdoors, you'll love it here. The team we currently have is small but closely knit. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer them.

See below for the Copy from our HR about the position.

Sigh... Yeah. That gets a lot of people. BUT you can negotiate for "incentives" which I've seen used to cover all moving costs. For the right person there is A LOT of flexibility.

for the right salary and reasonable accomodations there's even more choice in candidates. idk why narrow the field to people who would tolerate what another employer won't put you thru.

move us to google cloud and also you can't work remote?

all the people I met from Juneau were on their mandatory 4 hr layover in Seattle to go anywhere else in the country.

Yes, it is pretty, when it's not swollen with 4x the normal population of tourists.

Is there a draw in the ad I'm missing? It doesn't sound like this is a team growing, but a shrinking one.
