My client is happy to look at a DevOps engineer that is coming from a Linux / UNIX systems engineering , development or QA / Test background.

You will work for an Irish start up who has serious IPO potential, based in Dublin 2. They have recently received a sizeable amount of funding due to their innovative product and bespoke back-end infrastructure. They are processing TBs of data everyday, and as more and more customers come on board this is growing. This is Big Data at it's best!

HQ is Boston, but you will join the technical team in Dublin. There are currently 10 people with the view to grow quarter by quarter. This is the first pure DevOps role within the company and you will be responsible for growing a team and becoming the COOs right hand man, as the company continues to grow.
