Description
We're looking for a person who is a good generalist who understands Engineering and machines. Sphonic is a young company rapidly expanding and we need people who can get the job done without too much supervision.
Out platforms are based on Linux and SmartOS so a willingness to work and understand both is important. You should be comfortable in Bash and Python. We don't use Ruby and it's strictly prohibited on our platform. Our platform is all about low latency operation so a keen interest in optimisation is a must.
We would prefer that you are conversant with CFEngine as this manages our entire platform. However, a willingness to learn and integrate promise theory into your thinking is just as good. You'll get to push cfengine and promise theory to the limits and we'll expect you to be involved in fixing what breaks.
Some early JIRA's you'll handle:
Port collectd scripts to support SmartOS OS semantics
Package RSyslog and Cassandra for SmartOS
Build NodeJS autonomic infrastructure
You'll be primarily based at home so you should be comfortable in managing your time and delivery to tight deadlines. You'll be expected to come into the offices on a weekly basis - you should be able and happy to do that.
The selection process is an initial phone interview followed by a face to face which will include a technical test.
