The position requires a combination of strong troubleshooting, technical, programming/scripting and communication skills and includes a mix of on call and operational tasks and involves small to medium level software development work.

Key job responsibilities
• We do almost everything in Linux. We’re looking for people who are not just hobbyists, but people who’ve tweaked their favorite distro to get things working just the way they like them.
• We need people with a solid grasp of networking fundamentals. This includes experience with load balancers, switches, and routers.
• We need people who can design, implement, maintain and deploy components that solve problems in a complex ecosystem. We work in lots of different languages (most often Python, Golang, Java, Ruby, sometimes C++ and perl). It is more important to us that you understand coding in the context of working in distributed systems and/or widely scaled web applications.
• We need people with strong written and verbal communication skills and an ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical individuals.
• We want to work with people whose passion for problem solving goes hand-in-glove with their debugging and troubleshooting skills.
• We need people with an ability to self-motivate and follow-through on projects. To us, that means being detail oriented, passionate, and delivering results.
A day in the life
Ensuring the largest e-commerce platform ever is up, running, and spreading delight.
• Collaborating with brilliant geniuses on creating OpEx automation tools that ensure services can automatically heal (or just don't break!).
• Connecting with service owners up and down the stack on what's working, what needs help, and new innovations that create new challenges.
• Lunch (Bryant Park Food Trucks, restaurants in NYC, and more!)
• Connecting with customers to understand their pain points and providing them with right solutions regarding optimal network configurations
• Be part of oncall rotations and mitigating incoming incidents by following SOPs provided.
