Compensation: 
$80K - $90K / Year
Minimum Education:

Job Type: 
Full Time
Jobcode: 
MABJA3

This person needs to have worked in a production environment where there have worked with developers. Someone coming out on an ISP is NOT right. This person will do daily production support and maintenance in the Linux environment. They should be familiar with Tomcat and MySql is a plus. 

You will be responsible for the high availability and total up time of our product operations. This is more than just at the OS level as you will be responsible for maintaining our applications, application servers and other backend systems. 

This is a key role in our server engineering team. You'll be responsible for keeping the existing systems being always available and work with us towards scaling our solution as the business continues to grow. 

RESPONSIBILITIES: 

We are looking for someone to provide innovative solutions to scale and build rock-solid infrastructure for reliable product operations. Our clients expect us to lead and we work hard to deliver reliable and timely information and a phenomenal end user experience. 

Performance analysis and tuning will also be a significant responsibility in your job - with our large transactional volume, every last bit of performance counts. You should be able to step back and look at a problem in different light to identify an approach that improves performance. 

REQUIREMENTS: 

You studied computer science (or another tech-heavy science/engineering field) in school and can proudly claim that you spent more than your share of late nights bathed in the glow of compiler output. 

You have a track record of large implementations of servers and distributed systems. 

You see problems as opportunities and have what it takes to effectively communicate, brainstorm and collaborate to work through them. 

EXPERIENCE: 

You have worked closely with development teams while also managing production systems. 
Scripting experience in different languages. 
Experience working with custom developed applications (deploy/release/etc) in a SaaS environment 
Expertise in application servers and other backend systems (e.g. MySQL). 
Knowledge and/or experience in cloud based computing.
