New York, NY (Manhattan) - DevOps Engineer - Full Time, remote possible
What We Do:
We're Voxy, a startup working on building a personalized, machine-learning-driven English language learning experience for learners around the globe. Users use our software (web, mobile) to learn English with resources and activities tailored to their individual learning needs. We're building a globally distributed architecture with endpoints in multiple AWS regions to serve our customers around the globe. We are looking for an experienced SysOp or Engineer to automate, monitor and tune our infrastructure. You will work as a member of the engineering team to ensure our architecture is highly available, fast, and easily expandable.
Who We Are Looking For:
You'd be our first actual operations person, responsible for our infrastructure. Definitely need to be a self-starter and should be very comfortable deploying all kinds of apps (but our main one is Python/Django with uwsgi) to Linux systems running on various cloud providers.
Job Details:
Instrument logging, measurement and monitoring systems to quantify performance and service availability. Work with engineering to build systems that are more available, robust and efficient.
Automate the following areas:
Configuration and package management with Chef
Common tasks in a scripting language of your choice (we &#60;3 python)
Deployment (we use Fabric)
Enhancements to our IRC bots to give them even more unreasonable amounts of power
Participate in pager duty for on-call response to production issues

Why would you want to work here?
We're building something cool in a very big market with some very smart people (not just in engineering, either). You'll have a lot of opportunity to grow.
