We are growing our team and are seeking exceptional Linux/Unix system administrators with high levels of experience, aptitude and drive. Instead of including a list of requirements we want you to understand how we work. If our environment sounds like a place for you, then go to our ‘How to Apply’ section and follow the instructions.
How we work
We are team based...
We work in an open team room; no cubicles or private offices. Communication is key to our process, and we don't want to hinder it with walls. We work directly with coworkers as well as clients to triage, design, and solve the business's technical challenges. The key to our strong team is transparency and responsibility. Expect! Zen gardens instead of walled gardens.
We love Unix philosophy...
We embrace Unix systems from the production clusters down to the desktop. Single purpose, well designed tools are always preferred over the combination wifi-coffee-maker-ping-pong-table. We enjoy the stability and flexibility Unix based systems provide. You will find us swimming in technical solutions, that keep the business engaged and moving forward.
We work on challenging problems...
You will find us debugging dynamic routing protocols, writing nagios checks for an NTP servers, deploying a new production VLANs, assembling and boot strapping new database hardware, and tweaking the office 802.11b channels to avoid a noisy microwave all in the same day. Our responsibility is to ensure the technology supports and accelerates our business. Stability, scalability, fault tolerance, an! d automation are key properties of our solutions. We strive to! provide our clients with 100% system availability, as we don't make money unless our clients do.
We are agile...
Agile development methodologies mean different things to different people. For us, the most important part of Agile is doing what works best for the team. We have a story card wall and release a few times a week. We keep the team in sync with daily standups and have a retrospective once a month to discuss things that are going well and opportunities for improvements. We’re pragmatic, not dogmatic. Although we have strong opinions, we're never afraid to try to new things to see if they work and reconsider our positions if the situation warrants it.
We value our people...
We spend half a day every week working on whatever we’re interested in, regardless of whether it's relevant to the business. Some examples of the things people have chosen to work! on include competing against each other to build a mesh chat client in node.js, contributing to open source projects, and discussing strategies for our Google AI challenge submissions.
Salaries are generous and compensation packages include 401k contributions, and ample vacation time.
