Hi,

If anyone is interested then do drop your CV or if you wish, do drop by at our office and meet us over a cup of coffee :)

Job Profile:

Role: System Administrator / Operation Engineer

Experience level: 2-6 yrs exp

=========================================================== Job Profile:

As part of the SlideShare operations team, you'll play a key role in the design, deployment & scalability of a global scale web application.

Job Profile includes

- Working with open source technologies to manage the SlideShare cluster of servers that run on Ruby on Rails, FreeBSD, Debian, Amazon S3 & EC2. And we work with tools like Puppet, MemCached, Varnish, TokyoCabinet, HAProxy, Nagios, Cacti, Ganglia, and MySQL.

- Responsibility for helping scale SlideShare to hundreds of servers, using automation, virtualization, and cloud computing technologies. SlideShare is a big user of cloud technologies like Amazon EC2, SQS, S3, so you'd get to work extensively on these.

- Responsibility for keeping SlideShare server side performance speedy and top notch. This will include performance optimisations, DB tuning, and other problems that might progressively slow down the site as it grows globally.

- Regular web operations: Setting up and managing servers, troubleshooting networks, mail servers, monitor server logs, generate site statistics, coordinate releases, tweak NFS configs, spot & eliminate bottlenecks, server surveillance, security & intrusion detection etc.

Our Operations team is still small; hence you can play a pivotal role in architecting and defining its future scope.

============================================================= Candidate Profile:

- Preferably B.Tech in Comp Science and/or other system related technical degrees/diplomas

- 2 to 6 years exp in a software/internet company in similar role

- You should speak native Linux and have hands-on operations experience with a large server cluster.

- You MUST be enthusiastic about systems automation (we love Puppet, Chef or CFEngine experience will also give you the right philosophical background). We don't believe ops should spend all day firefighting and doing chores to keep the system healthy.

We believe ops should create valuable intellectual property the way software engineers do.
