ShareLaTeX (www.sharelatex.com) | DevOps | UK | REMOTE | www.sharelatex.com
We're looking for someone for a DevOps role at ShareLaTeX, which is an online LaTeX editor with over 1 million registered users. We help academics collaborate more effectively, and make LaTeX easier to work with.
The technologies we use are Ubuntu, Redis, MongoDB, Haproxy, Nginx, Node.js, Jenkins and Docker. The job will involve responsibilities like:
* Modifying our Node.js services to work with different architectures as they evolve.
* Improving our auto-scaling solutions for our LaTeX compiling backend
* Management &amp; maintenance of our infrastructure, including designing redundant architecture, and upgrades &amp; security patches of services.
* Improving our CI and deployment process
* Testing and improving our backup &amp; backup verification process, and emergency procedures.
* Keeping our emergency monitoring services tested and up to date
* Improving and automating the Docker build process of our open source and onsite package
We automate everything via Chef, have a lot of small Node.js services, and use automated testing as much as possible, so you should be comfortable with these types of technologies and approaches.
Some reasons you'd enjoy working for us:
* Most of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of free software.
* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.
* Working hours can be flexible to your needs.
* Remote is a first class citizen, all founders and employees work remotely.
* We’re a bootstrapped &amp; profitable company with no outside investors which means no crazy business pressures. Code quality and user happiness comes first.
We're looking from someone in a UK-compatible timezone. While we keep flexible hours, we've found that having reasonably overlapping core hours is important for communication.
