[Puppet Users] [Job Listing]: Infrastructure Systems Engineer - San Franscisco
Hi people, here is a job that we have open in the US. *First I want to stress:* *You must be a US Citizens to be eligible to apply.* The official description is below, but here is my take on it. We run Linux where possible, but we have some Windows servers where needed. We use Puppet and Capistrano - but we have some way to go to make this seamless. We are heading towards CI/Agile/Blahblah for infrastructure so that will be high on your agenda. We run the following tech stack: - Tomcat/Java app - MSSQL DB backend - but also PostgreSQL to a smaller degree - nagios monitoring - elastic search nodes - activemq messaging queue - puppet We have a strong tech focus and we would welcome a contributor to that rather than a button pusher. The main Operations team is in Melbourne so you will be working in a smaller team in the US (until Australia invades the US and takes all your nice things - like your Liberty!). Like any other SaaS service your main job is to keep it up. We are all trying to make that as painless as possible - if you want to help make that less painless then we would all think you are great and you''d be invited out to the pub for a beer, maybe even meet the misses. Back to our regular programming..... *Infrastructure Systems Engineer – San Francisco* · Large scale 24/7 global delivery · Broad scope of responsibility · Permanent opportunity *Do you want to work with our engineering team on the next generation of infrastructure?* Aconex is the world''s leading online collaboration software company, with offices in over 40 countries and eight data centres around the globe. Over the past 10 years we have revolutionised how construction and engineering companies manage and share project information. The Production Operations team is creating and supporting the next generation platform infrastructure for our SaaS business, providing scalable, fault-tolerance services that underpin much of the software. We''re looking for an Infrastructure systems engineer to help us keep our systems in peak operating efficiency. The key responsibilities of the role include: · Using Configuration Management and Automated Deployment tools for new releases · Keeping our platform safe, stable and efficient including an on-call component · Delivering projects to improve our product and platform · Implementing new infrastructure to keep us ahead of the curve · Work with both private and public clouds · Work with Multiple Global Datacentres · On-going performance monitoring, analytics, reporting and capacity planning If you are experienced in system administration in the SaaS industry, and passionate about DevOps with a keen interest in ITIL methods and fast changing production environments then this is the right opportunity for you. You communicate well with your team, internal customers and external stakeholders, and complex problem solving and troubleshooting is a natural strength. You''ll need experience in a 24x7 mission critical Web-based environment and no doubt you''ll be a specialist in Linux; as well as configuration management and deployment tools such as Puppet, MCollective and Capistrano. You love making improvements to processes to make everyone''s life better, and love to hunt down and fix performance and stability issues before our customers notice.
