Senior Linux Systems Administrator/DevOps Engineer

We are looking for a professional who has a track record of building high-quality service infrastructure using AWS, Linux, and modern DevOps tools. Your ability to work with a team and build according to an agreed set of principles and standards is more important than which technologies you already know. Your understanding of what makes services reliable, performant, manageable, and secure is both conceptual and practical. You understand both how individual systems operate and how distributed systems work together. Extra depth on security in modern cloud environments is a plus.

Duties and responsibilities:

  • Work as part of a team to design and build high-quality infrastructures for existing internet-facing applications, using tools such as Terraform, Docker, and Chef.
  • Build, design, and improve monitoring systems, based on tools such as Prometheus, CloudWatch, and Nagios.
  • Design and document processes for infrastructure maintenance, such as patching, expansion, and troubleshooting.
  • Support client-facing engineers to help them learn and manage new infrastructure you were involved in building.
  • Build tools to assist in AWS infrastructure security audits, which include the detection of changes to S3 access restrictions and compliance with IAM policies standards.
  • Design the systems and open source software configurations for application infrastructure components such as RabbitMQ, Envoy Proxy, and Kafka; run tests to tune and validate these configurations.
  • Participate in architecture, design, and automation strategy discussions.
  • Interact with clients to understand application requirements and to coordinate application level testing.
  • Support migration and go-live for new infrastructure and services.
  • Perform complex automation tasks to support other engineers as needed.

Requirements and qualifications:

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in an operations or platform development role for internet-facing services.
  • Minimum 8 total years of relevant industry experience.
  • Strong working knowledge of Linux administration.
  • Significant experience administering modern cloud environments, especially AWS.
  • Familiarity with DevOps automation tools, such as Chef, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and Capistrano.
  • Experience with monitoring and graphing systems such as Prometheus, Nagios, and Grafana.
  • Strong scripting abilities, preferably in Bash, Ruby, and/or Python.
