We're looking for a part-time Dev Ops / Site Reliability Engineering Apprentice at our San Luis Obispo location. You'll be working with and learning from the team responsible for keeping Dozuki, fast, available, and secure. This position is part-time during school and full time during the summer.
On any given day, you might find yourself:
- Bringing up and swapping out parts of our infrastructure.
- Advising our Software Engineers on design decisions.
- Researching security concerns and implementing hardening efforts.
- Investigating and responding to responsible disclosure reports.
- Finding and fixing unperformant requests.
- Writing automation tools for creating and maintaining our infrastructure.
- Investigative debugging to determine the sources of anomalies and failures.
- Working with open-source projects to get patches accepted upstream.
While we work with a wide variety of technologies, we value your ability to learn more than prior experience. The only requirements you ''must'' posses are:
- General Linux command-line chops
- Familiarity with a scripting language (Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, etc.)
- A strong understanding of web architecture and networking principles
- An intense desire for consistency
Dozuki is backed by MySQL and served by Apache httpd, Varnish, and HAProxy, with metrics stored in Graphite, all running on Fedora Linux Amazon EC2 instances. Experience with any of these technologies is a plus.
Working for a small company on a tight-knit team is a chance to manifest your creativity in a way that will make a big difference in the final product. This will be a challenging job - Dozuki's customers are both amongst the most security-focused companies in the world in addition to being some of the most popular sites on the internet (some
are regularly Reddit-frontpaged and featured in other high-circulation media). If you want to work your butt off and make incredible software with us, please apply.
To apply, upload a PDF of your resume as well as a short cover letter explaining two things: why you're badass, and why you're the ideal candidate for this job.
