SamKnows | Systems Administrator | Onsite | London, United Kingdom | <a href="
SamKnows is the global leader in internet performance measurement. We’ve been collecting data since 2008 on all manner of metrics, from how good Netflix performance is to figuring out why Fortnite isn’t working for gamers. Our infrastructure spans six continents and consists of more than 700 servers as well as third party edge infrastructure. The majority of these servers are bare metal ‘test servers’, which act as endpoints for speed tests and other measurement traffic. These have very high bandwidth - sometimes 100Gbit/s! Our broader infrastructure uses a mixture of bare metal (primarily for our very large database servers) and cloud-hosted services.
Role requirements:
- Strong Linux server administration background (preferably CentOS / Redhat)
- Shell scripting knowledge
- Experience with administering MySQL servers
- Knowledge of Puppet or a similar automation tool is highly beneficial
- Experience of server monitoring tools, such as Nagios
- A good understanding of DNS
- Experience in configuring Apache and Nginx
- A willingness to be part of on-call rota one week in three
- Experience with Github is beneficial
