The Senior Consultant is a special role at House of Brick, OpsCompass Global Services. Quite honestly, there are not many of you out there. We are looking for that particular person that is fanatical about technology (Do you have your own lab at home? Is it virtualized?), relentless about pursuing new knowledge and expertise (can you work within a team of equally if not more talented individuals and both confidently teach and graciously learn from them), humble yet confident in working with our customers (we want someone who makes the customer feel good about working with us, not embarrassed or angry because we tried to prove that we know more than they do), and who thrives on being able to solve some of the most complex problems in simple and elegant ways.
If you think you might be that special person, then please read on to see about some of the technical things we are looking for.
