Description
*** This is a partial telecommute job ***We are looking for a long-term placement to join our R&D team of 10Xers, and help us scale up our SaaS market analytics system.
We already have a long list of desired improvements to improve our monitoring and reporting about system/client usage. That also includes some upgrades to our nightly build and test framework. We want someone to help us come up with new ideas of how to do things better.
All development is on Linux. We provide a full, hosted dev environment. We use a lot of open-source software, and managing these existing systems is core. Also, we never use anything out-of-the-box, making this a developer position.
Many of our existing systems are in Perl. You MUST know at least rudimentary Perl and Python, and at least be willing to become quite good at both. Practically all of our systems have both a Web and a command-line interface, so both HTML and Bash are also essential.
This role requires daily calls to sync up on progress. Please specify in Easter Standard Time, what hours you would be available for phone calls. There must be an overlap of at least 4 hours in 10am-6pm EST.
We require at least two regularly scheduled "stand-up" calls per week, with a day between. We can do any times 10:30-6pm M-F. Tickets and time are tracked in our tracking system.
The team is a mix of full-time and freelancers. We care about finding the absolute best people much more than where they live. People in North America are preferred because it helps keep the team tight-knit, and because we do get together a few times a year. We do quarterly "bDays" where we get together to plan and share info with each other.
We look forward to meeting you.
Desired skills:
Perl, Python, Linux (Fedora), CGroups, Virtualization, Email, HTML, Code Testing, Unix User Account Management, Chroots, Web Scraping, Performance Benchmarking, Debugging.
Pay rate: 40-70 usd
Terms of employment: Hourly employee
Hours: Flexible
