Site Reliability Engineer/DevOps/Linux
We need an engineer who knows Linux inside and out, can cook up a SaltStack formula, push an AWS server, monitor Nagios/Shinken, manage Proxmox clusters, diagnose little problems and solve them across multiple systems without needing another engineer to hold their hands. Staring at IBM blade network drivers and recompiling them with a fix enabled should sound like fun to you!
If you haven't done Devops/SRE work specifically yet, but have solid Linux and scripting/programming experience and want to explore this opportunity further, we would love to speak with you. Learning quickly with great attitude and team fit is generally more important then what you know!
Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) are software engineers that focus on reliability, scalability, and the development of cloud computing infrastructure. SREs develop, maintain and operate software that automates the traditional roles of the system administrator at large scale, such as configuration and cluster management systems, and that support reliability and scalability goals, including container virtualization and the systems architecture of microservices.
