Devops - Chicago, Illinois - GetSet
We're an EdTech Startup that's building an engagement platform that hopes to improve retention rates in post-secondary, non-traditional learners. Basically, if you're an adult and you want to improve your life through education, we're here to try to help you succeed. We've been around since October 2012 and have a team of nine people.
Our Product team consists of a VP of Product, three programmers, and a User Experience person. The remaining team members are a Community Manager, a Relationship Manager, our CEO, and our VP of Sales.
* AWS
* Linux admin, shell scripting, etc.
* Some configuration management tool (Docker, Chef, Puppet, etc.)
* Server config/management (nginx, haproxy, openssl, etc.)
* Tuning JVM and/or ruby apps (ideally, both)
* Networking, TCP/IP tuning, etc.
* Deployment (continuous, or something close to it)
* Some working knowledge of one or more programming languages (ideally, one we use - JavaScript, Clojure, Ruby)
* Automation of lots of the above
* Experience working closely and frequently with programmers, as you'll be sitting in the bullpen with us
* Interest in writing production code while at the same time not seeing Devops as just a stepping stone to full-time production coder
* Plays well with others
* Experience transitioning away from Heroku
We're a small, cool-headed team who like our relatively well-defined roles. Culture fit is extremely important for us at our current size so "plays well with others" is probably the most important bullet point.
