That's right bitches, I'm bringing it back.
So I got me a new job. And since I just signed a contract yesterday that says that I will be able to keep this job "until such time as the employee reaches the normal retiring age" I figured I'd post here. Also because it's a fun one.
So first off I work for a DNS Hosting company. We aren't the biggest players in the market, but we're certainly not the smallest either -- multiple anycast strands consisting of multiple clusters located in data centers around the world.
My specific job is that of a support technician. It turns out that DNS is kind of obscure and hardly anyone seems to know how it really works. With that i mind, we need a large support team relative to the rest of the organization to help folks out. I answer questions by phone or by email, as well as keeping an eye on certain aspects of our operation. I will kick things up to either our operations or development team as necessary, depending on where an issue lies -- just yesterday I uncovered a problem with our mail, in that Yahoo's mailservers had abruptly decided to stop talking to ours (that one went to ops).
It's interesting and challenging and I get all the free Doritos and Diet Coke I want.
Anyone else? C'mon, I know someone's got a fun job to share.
