Operations Engineer (San Francisco, CA)
We're looking for a great engineer to help us keep our systems running. You should be equally comfortable as a sysadmin and a developer - you'll be spending a lot of time managing our infrastructure, but you'll probably be building product too.
It's really important that you are ambitious, and that you take ownership over what you're doing. We're still a small team, and you will have a huge impact on the company.
Responsibilities
- Maintain stability and performance of our systems
- Build tools to manage and automate our infrastructure
- Evaluate and benchmark new software packages
Requirements
- Proficiency programming in Python (1.5+ years)
- Familiarity debugging and optimizing MySQL
- Experience with UNIX
- Experience debugging common server infrastructure problems
- Familiarity with automation tools (Chef, Puppet, Fabric, etc)
- 1 year of experience on a server-side team
Bonus points
If you've built anything interesting outside of work/school, we want to see it. Links to web apps, git repos, portfolios, etc are greatly appreciated.
We don't care what degree you have, only what you've done and are capable of.About the company
