Bauer Xcel Media | Devops Engineer | Full Time | New York, NY or REMOTE (EST timezone)
Bauer Xcel Media is the small digital 'startup' arm of Bauer Media, a very old, stable, and profitable German publishing company that operates in multiple countries around the world. We have two main products. A content publishing platform on a large scale for our magazines. And a complex app to run a multi-region sweepstakes business for our magazines.
We have a really great culture, a super positive and friendly team, and exceptional work-life balance. We are based in NYC, though the dev team has a very remote-ingrained culture as long as you generally overlap with EST hours.
This role does not include 24/7 pager duty, and since it will be primarily dev-facing, the majority of your communication will be done over slack, JIRA, and google hangouts with a team of bright and friendly people.
We're looking for a mid-level person who can help us clean up and automate some things and keep the ship running smoothly and well-documented. Example tasks could be upgrading our stack, responding to production bugs, creating response plans, creating an automatic database dump process, wrangling review environments, suggest new technologies, documenting our server architecture.
Some technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Heroku, AWS, Postgres, Mongo.
