THE PURPOSE:

Slickdeals is looking for someone who can effectively fill a combined SysAdmin and DevOps role. The successful candidate will manage our Linux systems which run predominantly open-source software, and our internally developed applications and tooling.

You will aid our engineering and product teams by providing velocity and stability for our development and product teams. You will be joining the team that is primarily responsible for our production systems and the OS/applications running on them. As part of our SRE team, you’ll be jointly responsible for dealing with rare incidents, and for scheduled routine off-hours maintenance tasks. You’ll be a major contributor to the automated tooling that will help our developers develop and our business do business.

On a typical week, you’ll be performing ongoing development such as improving the automation of our deploy workflows and tweaking server build cookbooks. You will contribute to the systems that monitor servers and their logs, document and apply backup & restore procedures, and keep systems up-to-date with software updates and patches to ensure the availability and quality of our online presence. You will also be counted on as a subject matter expert for infrastructure related questions, and issues that may arise.

One of your first goals will be to improve our monitoring platforms. Moving the myriad systems we use into a “single pane of glass”, allowing our engineering and product teams to have a view more aligned to their needs. Secondarily this needs to be built in a way that allows contribution from development teams, since they are the ones most familiar with their application.

 

THE ROLE:

  • This position combines aspects of cloud engineering, devops, and IT operations. 
  • Will be integral in the design and build of IaaS and ongoing improvements and maintenance to our kubernetes deployments. 
  • Provisioning, maintaining, and improving our existing infrastructure
  • Manages tools like Jenkins, Consul, Vault, and Git
  • Works with Developers during the entire release process to improve release velocity
  • Update, deploy and manage our monitoring systems (Nagios, Cacti, Grafana, ELK)
  • Manage, monitor, and improve our HAProxy Load Balancers
  • Participate in an on-call rotation  

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

  • 2+ years of experience in similar roles.
  • Well versed in *nix Operating Systems (we use CentOS and Ubuntu LTS).
  • Good communication (and listening) skills.
  • Excellent reading comprehension and attention to detail.
  • Very comfortable with SSH, bash & sh, pipes, common UNIX tools.
  • Comfortable using software revision control (e.g. Git).
  • Some experience administering Linux “web” servers, at scale.
  • Working knowledge of DNS, HTTP, TLS, web security.
  • Experience with networking troubleshooting using tools such as tcpdump.


 PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Scaling for a high traffic web / services environment.
  • Infrastructure as code (eg Chef/Puppet/Ansible/Terraform).
  • Configuration management.
  • Continuous Integration, and test automation frameworks.
  • MySQL in a high-performance distributed environment.
  • Containerization & virtualization.
  • Familiarity with interpreted languages.
  • Understanding of networking technologies including design and troubleshooting.
  • Experience with on-premise cloud (IaaS) environments.
  • Testing & automation (CI/CD/Git hooks).
  • Monitoring (e.g. ELK, Grafana).
  • Email servers and their configuration (e.g. Postfix, SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
  •
