You will work as a peer in a team of four other excellent devops coders. Tasks will range from programming production code & unit tests, API design, load testing, and some system administration. Depending upon your interest and aptitude, there could be work with a myriad of other languages (R, Julia, Matlab, Go, Python, et al) or technologies (Docker, AWS, etc.)

You’re a software developer with professional experience in at least one modern programming language. (Familiarity with Lua, Java and Node.js not required.) You will also have a passion for some of the back-end stuff, so you have significant experience in httpd, nginx, Tomcat, or another web/app server, and experience with some sort of database system (SQL, noSQL, etc.) You’re comfortable at the Linux command line, including some scripting. You will have worked on teams with some sort of agile process.Local applicants or those looking to move to the San Francisco Bay Area are welcome. We reimburse for relocation expenses.
