Head of the IT department in bodo

Hello! I'm Sasha, director of IT, development and innovation at bodo.

I'm currently looking for an IT manager.

I know from my own experience that it is difficult to understand whether your company is your company or not from a standard description on a job site. Therefore, in this vacancy, I tried to tell honestly and in detail about the position of the head of IT, our team and the company.

Why am I looking for a specialist personally, and not HR? We do not have an HR department at bodo. We, managers, form our teams and cultivate corporate culture. I conduct all stages of selection. So let's get to know each other!

I am 33 years old and I have been in the bodo team for 13 of them. During this time, under my leadership, the company has gone the way:

* from one physical server to a hybrid infrastructure with more than 50 servers;

* from outsourcing in programming and system administration to full-fledged functions in middle of the company;

* from firefighting to a systems approach to IT.

What we have:

* 2 system administrators under reporting, closing L1/L2.

* External contractors with competencies in complex services (e.g. telephony).

* Development budget and operational needs.

* 1C and web programmers in the staff.

* IT director working in the company for 10+ years.

* Mail on Google Workspace .

* Critical services are in the cloud.

* We work according to best practice. For example: 1. Backups are made constantly, kept in several different places, if necessary - encrypted and checked from time to time. 2. Elements of the infrastructure duplicate critical functions (Internet, equipment...).

* Step-by-step adaptation to the position. A training plan for professional tasks, instructions, constant meetings with me and colleagues who are ready to help and advise. I am always available for you to come and ask questions.

* We have no bureaucracy, decisions are made quickly. Everyone has the right to vote - any idea you have will be heard, and if it is relevant, we will implement it.

* Flexible schedule for the start of the working day - we don't care what time you come. You yourself choose when it is more convenient to come to the office: at 8, 9, 10 or 11 o'clock. Next, you work a 9-hour work day (including 1 lunch hour).

* Office in the center (86H Malevicha St. - 5 minutes' walk from Lybidska station).

* p>

* Financial stability - official employment from day one, salary twice a month without delays, 24 days of paid vacation.

* Salary review every year.

* Pay 50 % of costs for external professional training.

* 30% discount on impressions for independent visits and as a gift.

* Day off on your birthday, if it falls on your working day.

* p>

* And of course, common sense and a sense of humor. No formality - everyone here is "you".

Now about our requirements for the specialist I am looking for:

* Independently searched, selected and hired subordinates.

* Managed the support of 100+ users through the helpdesk.

* Able to configure both Windows and Linux servers.

* Knows OSI network model and built complex networks with VLAN distribution.

* Has experience in building localtheir networks based on Mikrotik equipment.

* Configured monitoring systems not only according to standard templates, but also has practical experience in creating dashboards for specific tasks.

* Has a desire to "get to the bottom" of the reasons the occurrence of any problems, and not just to deal with their consequences.

* Understands the importance of creating backups, the need to duplicate them, conduct periodic checks by "deploying" backups, and uses this in practice in his work.

* p>

* Able to schedule tasks with a time estimate a month in advance for both himself and subordinates.

* Works for results, not "from nine to six to sit out."

* No harmful habits (including IQOS, glo, disposables, vapes, etc.).

IMPORTANT: all , including me, work in the office full time. There is no remote work or hybrid schedule.
