We're looking for a highly talented Senior Operations Engineer to join our tech team at Condé Nast. The ideal person is obsessed with uptime and site speed and has years of experience with Linux systems. At the same time, you are passionate about working with development engineers to get more done faster with less trouble. This includes being familiar with configuration management tools like Puppet to standardize environments or Graphite/Logstash/StatsD/New Relic to understand what is currently going on in real time. The ability to communicate effectively and lead initiatives by yourself or with others is also highly important. You will be comfortable working on multiple projects at once with high profile stakeholders. In other words the bigger the stage the brighter you shine. This is a unique opportunity because we are in the middle of transitioning a lot of our current processes/infrastructure to be more "cloud" friendly. We will be evaluating all technologies and probably creating a couple along the way. If this sounds interesting to you then let us know!
What You'll Do
- Work with our server-side infrastructure, including configuring Linux systems to work optimally with our applications.
- Developing our puppet infrastructure by writing modules and modeling data/configuration within Hiera.
- Participation in 24/7 on-call rotation (be available by phone or email in case something goes wrong)
- Troubleshoot issues with software, applications network, DB, etc.
- Work with engineers on product decisions and strategy
- Help improve the development organization’s ability to rapidly and safely deploy code
- Participate in architecting and building our systems for maximum productivity and scalability
- Collect all types of metrics and effectively display them for use by different groups within tech
- Configure our CDN and internal caching layers for fastest performance
- Document our infrastructure and make sure runbooks are kept up to date
