Senior Operations Engineer in San Mateo

Sun, 12 May 2013 01:56:01 GMT

PBworks is hiring a Senior Operations Engineer who can wear many hats. We're looking for folks who aren't scared of being hands on with everything. Willing to compile a grsecurity Linux kernel? Troubleshoot network packet loss? Scale databases? If you’re able to take on a wide range of responsibility, this position is for you.

Your job will be to create an environment where 4 million users and over 1.5 million workspaces can flourish and change the way people work. You'll get the freedom to do the job right, and a fantastic engineering team to back you up. What are you waiting for? Mail us your resume and a short paragraph of why you'd like to join.

What You'll Be Doing:

Physical server management: Managing a cluster of about 70 physical servers in San Francisco. Plus 3 servers in Sacramento. Plus a handful in our office in San Mateo.

Engineering: Developing ops infrastructure tools in PHP, Perl, Ruby, or shell scripts.

Automation: automating deployment with puppet.

Monitoring: using Ganglia and monit to understand what's going on with the systems.

Networking: Running the network infrastructure, including routers, switches, and site-to-site VPNs between the three locations above.

Databases: Managing a handful of MySQL databases: advising developers on schema changes, keeping the databases reliable, and optimizing performance.

Security: Analyzing the systems' security, keeping up with new threats, and recommending and implementing new security technologies and policies.

Email: Ensuring the best possible outgoing email deliverability, and that we don't lose any incoming email.

Office IT: running the office network; operating the employee VPN; occasionally fixing a printer or troubleshooting someone's laptop.

Planning: Monitoring resource utilization trends; budgeting; planning for growth.

The Operations Engineer role is extraordinarily wide. If you've got software development experience, there are a variety of customer-facing infrastructure projects that may interest you. If you like NoSQL, there are definitely ways we can add NoSQL databases to optimize performance and developer productivity. We're looking for someone with a wide range of experience and interests, but if you haven't already worked in all these roles, we're here to help you learn.

Requirements: 3+ years experience running a production cluster. Debian and SaaS experience strongly preferred.

Bonus: Knowledge of PHP, puppet, git, quality programming abilities, computer science chops, and an understanding of SaaS business.

Technology: You'll get to solve real business problems with a wide range of technology. Here's a sample of what we work with: Debian Linux, Apache, Nginx, Percona Server (MySQL), memcached, MogileFS, XtraBackup, LDAP, puppet, Ganglia, monit, Perl, Node.js, ejabberd, Vyatta, Amazon Web Services, Solr, Postfix, git.

Why we're different: PBworks blurs the lines between operations and development. You'll sit in on every team engineering meeting and have input to decisions at all levels. As part of your job, you'll continue to architect our system to handle failures so you won't get paged when a hard drive fries. We're committed to providing the resources so that these failures don't become emergencies. We value automation and addressing the root cause of issues so they don't happen again.

VP of Engineering in San Mateo

Sun, 12 May 2013 01:56:01 GMT

PBworks is looking to hire a world-class VP of Engineering to direct, manage, and grow our engineering team at PBworks and join a great management team. Candidates should have knowledge and experience with Software-as-a-Service best practices and methodologies, such as frequent deploys, functional testing, and automated rollbacks. Candidates should have at least five years of management experience but still be active programmers with code-review and prototyping level strengths in a modern scripting language (such as Ruby, Python, or PHP) as well as fluency in modern HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Strong preference will be given for LAMP stack proficiency. Extra consideration will be given to candidates with experience hosting software for very large clients and candidates with UX skills.

Candidate should have experience building and executing effective agile product development and project management strategies, and continuing to build a top-notch, highly, innovative team. Experience with workspaces and team collaboration software in general and PBworks in particular is a strong plus. Master's in Computer Science preferred.

You'll be in charge of one of the most powerful, scalable, popular, and sophisticated hosted collaboration tools in existence: with over 4m users a month, hundreds of terabytes of user data, billions of recorded actions, and a million and a half groups. Our team is small but highly effective; every engineer in the group is capable of working on a wide diversity of projects - from low level systems debugging to SQL optimization, to best practices in modern Javascript and CSS. You'll be redefining the future of how our customers get their work done - everything from collaborative medicine to treat cancer patients to innovative creative teams shaping the next great TV commercial or videogame to university research labs, and even a few un-stodgy law firms.

We'd love to have you come help our team win and grow!

Director of Operations in San Mateo

Sun, 05 May 2013 10:00:49 GMT

PBworks is looking for a master sysadmin & manager to help us continue to deliver 99.99% reliability and scale our service up cost-effectively. You should ideally have been point for a cluster deployment before and deeply experienced with not just rapid troubleshooting but performing “Five Whys” analyses after incidents and setting up foolproof lights-out management so even when hard drives fail and hackers attack you can relax, knowing full well the cluster is operating smoothly and securely.

To really rock this job, you’re obviously going to need to be a master of the network, system, & OS stack. We run our own iron based out of San Francisco, so you should be pretty comfortable with using puppet to configure LDAP-assigned roles, managing the VPN, setting up a reliable PXE boot installer, using virtual IPs with heartbeat, MySQL master-slave-cold setups, and managing custom Debian repositories.

You’ll be given full autonomy to build out, secure, scale, and operate our production systems, responsible for serving over four million people a month, and you’ll have a brilliant engineering team to back you up. We’d love to have you come join us. Mail your resume and a short paragraph of why you'd like to join to jobs-ops@pbworks.com.
