RESPONSIBILITIES:
We are looking for someone to provide innovative solutions to scale and build rock-solid infrastructure for reliable product operations. Our clients expect us to lead and we work hard to deliver reliable and timely information and a phenomenal end user experience.
Performance analysis and tuning will also be a significant responsibility in your job - with our large transactional volume, every last bit of performance counts. You should be able to step back and look at a problem in different light to identify an approach that improves performance while not overly complicating the solution.
REQUIREMENTS:
You studied computer science (or another tech-heavy science/engineering field) in school and can proudly claim that you spent more than your share of late nights bathed in the glow of compiler output.
You have a track record of large implementations of servers and distributed systems.
You see problems as opportunities and have what it takes to effectively communicate, brainstorm and collaborate to work through them.
MORE ABOUT YOU:
You are an expert in Bash and automation with scripting
You have knowledge and experience in Python, Ruby and Enterprise Java
You have diverse experience in monitoring (i.e. nagios, zenoss), trending (i.e. cacti, ganglia) and configuration deployment management (i.e. cfengine, chef) systems.
You have worked closely with development teams while also managing production systems.
Experience working with custom developed applications (deploy/release/etc) in a SaaS environment
Expertise in application servers and other backend systems (e.g. MySQL, Apache HTTP, Tomcat, Cassandra, HBase)
Knowledge and/or experience in cloud based computing (AWS, Rackspace, etc)

Education is always nice
