Looking for DevOps Ninjas
-----------------
We're Voxeo Labs (http://voxeolabs.com) - a team of entrepreneurial types changing the face of telecommunications. We build software that lets developers control the phone system - making calls, recording calls, making and getting text messages, etc and beyond. Our customers include startups, hobbyists, Fortune 100, and the telcos themselves. We're big enough to have offices worldwide, but small enough you won't be a faceless cog in the corporate machine.
Why work with us?
-----------------
* We're solving interesting problems. Tired of clients with yet another social network for cats?
* Get in at the ground level. We’re a start-up and already have amazing products and paying customers.
* We're Polyglots, and love it if our team is as well. We have Java, C, C++, Ruby, Python, Groovy, node.js, C# and even ColdFusion code running in production. You'll learn all sorts of new things.
* Freedom. You can work when you want, where you want, we don't care...we know you'll get the job done!
Desired Skills & Experience
Little bit about what we are looking for:
--------------------
* You need to be an Ops guy or gal (duh). You don't just draw diagrams showing your architecture will work, you make it a reality, and you respond to the alerts if that reality falls apart.
* You know DevOps is a culture, not a job title. You love (any maybe you even develop) the latest and greatest tooling, but you think improving processes for how development and operations collaborates is just as important.
* You need to be self-motivated. We are a distributed, global team, and as such we you will need to be able to work, and deliver, without direct daily supervision.
* Able to communicate fluently in Mandarin Chinese
Responsibilities
--------------------
* Work w/ product engineering on deploying and supporting new features and services.
* Troubleshoot network and platform issues.
* Monitor our deployments (there are many)
* Scale infrastructure to meet demand
* Develop custom tools as necessary, or even work on improving existing tooling. There's always room for improvement right?
* Document systems design and procedures, knowledge silos stink
We're looking for someone to work in Singapore with a contractor arrangement, and we are flexible for the right candidate.
Desired Skills & Experience
--------------------
### Specific skills we're after (Minimum Qualifications)
#### Junior Candidate
* Linux. While we don't expect you to contribute kernel patches, we do expect you to know your way around, so we ask that you have at least 3 years of experience and would prefer Red Hat or its derivatives.
* Configuration Management. Whether you prefer Chef, CFEngine, or Puppet, you look askance at "one-off" fixes that aren't applied by it.
* Monitoring. We run a product which other businesses depend on, and as such monitoring a big deal to us. We want to know before something breaks, so we can get out ahead of the problem!
* Distributed Version Control. If you fork and merge your grocery list then you might be the one
* Networking. Knowledge of TCP/IP and HTTP. When the logs are unclear, you turn to tcpdump or wireshark to find out what's really going on.
* Code. We are looking for scripting awesomeness. You should write shell scripts in your sleep and also be comfortable in at least one of the following languages: Ruby, Perl, Python.
* SQL. We are not looking for a DBA, but we do want someone who knows the engines and is experienced with managing them.
