If you possess a healthy desire to automate everything while being able to quickly resolve urgent issues manually, then we want you!

  • Practical knowledge of Linux userspace and kernel internals
  • Working experience with bare-metal servers
  • Participation in on-call rotation (6 hours every weekday + one weekend per month)
  • Work in (one of) US or SG timezone

The ideal candidate is expected to:

  • Understand the whole technology stack at all levels: from network and user-space code to OS internals and hardware
  • Independently deal with and investigate infrastructure issues on live production systems including dealing with hardware problems and interact with datacenters
  • Develop internal automation – monitoring, setup, statistics
  • Have the ability to foresee potential problems and prevent them from happening. Apply first-aid reaction to infrastructure failures when necessary
  • Help developers with deployment and integration
  • Make well-reasoned technical choices and take responsibility for it
  • Approach problems with a practical mindset and suppress perfectionism when time is a priority
  • Setup automatic systems to control infrastructure
  • Possess a healthy detestation for complex shell scripts
  • Be ready to work in a small team and take responsible independent decisions

What You Get:

  • Competitive compensation package

  • [Remote] Work from home allowance
