DevOps Engineer

Flite is looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our core infrastructure team to make a significant and meaningful impact.

Flite’s greater Engineering team is a small group of talented and fun people who believe in being proactive, building sustainable and sane service oriented architecture, and loves to learn. A balance between work and life is paramount. We maintain that by building incrementally, thoughtfully managing what we have, automating « all the things, » continuously integrating and delivering, prioritizing the many exciting projects on the roadmap, and, above all working together. We are firm believers of Infrastructure as Code and believe that the same tools to build our applications can be leveraged to build our infrastructure.

Ideally, we’re looking for someone “senior.” However, since DevOps is a relatively new term, if you’ve been been doing related work for a few years and think you’re a fast learner, we’d love to talk with you too!

Some responsibilities include:

• Developing and maintaining methodologies of iteratively deploying Flite’s cloud-based architecture.
• Building resilient and self-scaling systems so that you can sleep through the night even in case of instance and datacenter failures.
• Participating in on-call production support rotation.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience with Jenkins, Fabric or Capistrano
• Has experience with configuration management (Chef) and knowledge of monitoring tools (Nagios, collectd, CloudWatch)
• Has experience with Amazon Web Services (EC2, VPC, ELB, S3, etc)
• Has J2EE and Tomcat deployment experience
• Is a firm believer in source control management and uses Git
• Is proficient in either Python or Ruby

Bonus points if you:

• Have experience in MySQL administration and/or with MySQL replication
• Have experience with Cassandra
