[gnhlug-jobs] [Hiring] Linux / OpenSource Engineer

[Patrick Flaherty]

 I'm building out a team at the Weather Company. We will be creating a
bunch of FOO as A Service for the Weather company (Logging, Metrics,
Authentication, Container Deploy). Logging is already in beta (ELK),
metrics will likely be built on graphite (influx db backend?),
Authentication, and Container Deploy (who knows yet).

 Our team is geographically diverse (Andover, Seattle, Atlanta), smart, and
easy going. We need a couple more self starters who want to deploy scalable
self sustaining systems so we can go off and work on the next fun project.
You need to understand how to separate business and technical decisions,
adapt quickly to need projects and technologies, and handle grumpy
customers.

You need to demonstrate the following:
* Experience delivering highly available systems that meet SLAs
* Experience delivering monitoring services you deployed, and maintaining
feedback loops to keep monitoring effective.
* Experience delivering accurate documentation, and keeping it up to date.
* You can program / hack / debug several [scripting] languages
* You do not automatically disable SELinux when you build a server
* You can white board the following:
** Opening a TCP connection
** Opening an SSL connection
** Making a recursive DNS lookup

I swiped the following questions off another job posting. If you are
interested, please pick a couple of them (not all of them) to answer in an
email, and include a resume.

* A technology you haven't played with but want to. Tell me the use case.
* A tool you currently use but hate and how you can make it better.
* How would you authenticate and verify ephemeral nodes are who they say
they are. What if it's an end point on an insecure network?
* Tell me a good idea for a project that your company should take on, but
will not. Explain from both sides, even if they are wrong.
* Choose your own adventure; Write up a mission statement and 10 lines on
what it's like to work with you. I'm smart enough to know I didn't offer
enough choices for this thing to be fair.

Best,
Patrick "Lapsed Lug Member" Flaherty

p.s. Engineering has zero to do with storm naming, docudramas, or any of
that other horse hockey you want to complain about, but I assure you, we
also have opinions.
