  • A strong understanding of operating systems and the nuances of Linux
  • Experience with datacenter network troubleshooting including IP fundamentals, DNS, load balancing, proxies and firewalls
  • Familiarity with configuration management systems such as Chef, Puppet or Ansible
  • Proficiency in at least one of the following languages: Python, Ruby, C/C++, Go or Java
  • A solid understanding of the modern software development lifecycle (SDLC) processes such as Continuous Integration and delivery

We'd love to see:

  • Expertise in analyzing and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems
  • A deep understanding of web operations and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google)
  • Knowledge of network and application performance analysis using standard UNIX tools
  • Experience with maintaining and managing a community around open source software
