puppet jobs list?

[Jason Antman]

Is there a puppet jobs list or board anywhere? (not jobs at PL, jobs
dealing with Puppet)

If not, where would you advertise/post (or look, I guess) for engineers
with strong puppet skills, both on the usage/admin side, and skilled
ruby devs (preferably with some Puppet experience)?

We'er hiring, and having abysmal luck with wherever our internal and
external recruiters have posted.

Thanks for any tips/ideas,
Jason

No idea on job boards these days, but in 2008 I was hired as a systems administrator based on my application to a job posted on workopolis.com. (I hadn't heard of puppet at that point.)

I notice that places I read like http://highscalability.com offer sponsored Job Openings posts, for example:

http://highscalability.com/display/Search?moduleId=4876569&searchQuery=job+openings

Also more companies are running their own infrastructure blogs, with an "if you like this we're hiring" tagline. To wit:

But finally, a puppetconf 2013 presentation suggested you have your own existing talent do things, which sounds like your best bet:

I get pinged by headhunters via LinkedIn. Have you tried posting/searching there?

Thanks to both Chris and Peter for their tips/advice.

I'm familiar with the ThoughtWorks DevOps hiring presentation Yes,
cultivating talent is good preferred. We've already got some good puppet
knowledge on the team; we're not so much looking to hire "because we
need Puppet knowledge" as we're looking to grow our engineering and
automation teams from ~11 people to almost 20, and we've made a big
enough investment in Puppet that hiring at least one specifically for
advanced Puppet skills is desired.

Thanks,
Jason

The puppet list allows you to posts jobs to the list.

You needs to include [JOBS] in the subject line so people who aren't looking can skip it.

Hi Jacob,

I am a Puppet Developer and developed few Puppet modules. I am looking for a change. It would be nice if you can share the JD. Also , I am a bit doubtful about the location. I am Indian citizen and currently working with Dell India.
