Senior Dev Ops Engineer Scribd
THIS JOB HAS EXPIRED
The JobScribd is a top 100 site on the web and one of the very largest sites built using ruby on rails. As one of the first rails sites to reach scale, we've built a lot of infrastructure and solved a lot of challenges to get Scribd to where it is today. We actively try to push the envelope and have contributed substantial work back to the open source community.
Scribd has an agile, startup culture and an unusually close working relationship between engineering and ops. You'll regularly find cross-over work at Scribd, with ops people writing application-layer code and engineers figuring out operations-level problems. We think we're able to make that work because of the uniquely talented people we have on the team.
To allow us to keep scaling, we're now looking to add a strong, experienced operations guru to the team. As a member of Scribd operations, you'll have tremendous ownership and responsibility for one of the web's most popular applications. Because Scribd is a startup, you will wear many hats and have broader responsibility than you would at a larger company.
The Ideal Profile
You are an experienced operations professional and have run ops at at least one large-scale website. You have comprehensive knowledge of a broad variety of system tools, from MySQL and Nginx to Squid and Memcached. You should also have strong software development skills and be well-versed in major programming languages. You should be strongly motivated, a creative solution finder, and ready to jump into the thorniest technical problems whenever necessary.
Responsibilities
Develop and maintain all aspects of Scribd's operations infrastructure, including system monitoring, backups, server configuration, databases, and caching systems
Collaborate with engineering to create next generation infrastructure to support changing requirements
Predict scaling problems before they occur and work with engineering to prevent them
Write and debug application level ruby code
Quickly diagnose server problems and employ preventive measures to maintain high availability servers
Qualifications
Bachelors degree in CS or equivalent experience
Strong professional experience in site operations
Advanced software engineering skills, including knowledge of major programming languages
Strong database skills, preferably with MySQL, and overall linux knowledge
Experience with most of the following technologies: MySQL, Nginx, Ruby, Memcached, Squid, git, Solr, HBase, Postfix
Proven ability to quickly learn and implement unfamiliar technologies
Strong desire to work hard at a rapidly growing company
