DevOps Engineer
Wikispaces is looking for a DevOps Engineer to help manage and scale our infrastructure. We're small enough that you will own a big part of our stack, but not so big that you're drowning. We're entirely cloud-hosted, so there will be no driving to a colo to swap hard drives in the middle of the night. This position is full time in our San Francisco office.The ideal candidate is excited by mastering and optimizing complex systems. You feel very at home at the Linux command line. You like leveraging the AWS stack to build highly scalable applications.  You can reason about the tradeoffs between relational, key-value, and nosql databases at hundred-million or billion row scale (we've got a few of those).  You want to develop strong system performance and reliability monitoring and reporting, and then drive the speed up, and the downtime down.  You've got a good grasp of the capabilities of modern hardware but don't feel the need to actually touch any of it.  Above all you love automating the things you do today so you can do more interesting things tomorrow.We serve tens of millions of unique monthly visitors on an infrastructure we built from the ground up. Our stack is built on Linux, PHP, nginx, and MySQL, with supporting roles played by memcached, SOLR, Cassandra, redis, haproxy, and a few other Open Source systems. While we're currently hosted at SoftLayer, we also rely on Amazon AWS for a variety of services including S3, EC2, and EMR. Behind the scenes we rely on git and puppet.Why you should apply We're a small, smart, fast-moving company where you'll play a huge part in the success of our business. We're proud to build applications used by tens of millions of real people every month. If you want to be challenged and rewarded for your success, play a big role in the company you work for, and want life to be free of meetings, office politics, and big-company boredom, drop us a line.About us Wikispaces is working hard to build the online classroom of the future. We’re a small, independent Silicon Valley team backed by the deep resources of a large company. The same team has been working together in San Francisco's South of Market district for almost nine years, and we are committed to improving the lives of every teacher and student we can. Stop by. We’d love to tell you more about what we’re building. Until then, here’s a bit more about what we believe and what’s been happening lately at our company.How to apply Please email us at #EMAIL_948c4eeb1cf1cbb211c4f547e200ec5d255775f21cf30faadd29b7144e1f11bf# with a copy of your resume as .doc, .pdf, .odt, or .rtf.
