Can you take on the challenges of administering high traffic web sites running PHP, MySQL, Memcached and other servers on Red Hat EL? Do you have an engineer's understanding of these servers that will allow you to come up with creative solutions to architectural challenges, deployment challenges, monitoring and assuring high availability? If you answered yes to all, we'd love to hear from you. This is full time work, long term. Linux server admin is the core, but we need more than just the basics. We need your engineering expertise to design new features or re-engineer current ones for better scalability, reliability and performance, so you'll work closely with the development team. And then it comes time to push the new features to the servers! You'll read the code in search of potential problems and advise the developers if needed, and when that's clear you'll push the changes to the servers and solve any unforeseen problems that may arise. We live and breathe our sites. We get automatic SMS notifications when traffic drops suddenly, often flukes – but sometimes real problems, which we jump on to address ASAP! Saturday, Sunday, it doesn't matter were we are, as long as we have a netbook and 3G connectivity, we're on it. We'd love you to bring this level of passion for ensuring a smooth user experience on the sites. Before we talk long term with you, we'll hire you for a specific project (below), and your success in this endeavor will qualify you for taking on your permanent role. Test Project: You'll set up an infrastructure for running a specific application (we'll give you the code) on [login to view URL]'s platform, running on Amazon AWS (EC2 for PHP and Memcached, RDS, Elastic Load Balancing, some storage, etc). Previous experience with AWS or RightScale is optional but very valuable if you have it. You will implement or document tasks with RightScale, such as: * Create an automatic response to EC2 instance failures * Scaling up/down Memcached or PHP servers * Scaling up/down RDS Through your work with the RightScale platform we'll evaluate both the platform, and your skills, creativity and work ethic. In the end we may migrate to RightScale, or stay with our dedicated and load balanced servers, but we'll love to have your engineering expertise and admin wizardry on the team. Do not bid if you're a company, this is for an individual. On your bid please specify: * Education * Experience as related to the above description, including scalability engineering, server administration, and programming such as PHP, JavaScript, linux scripting, etc. * Your proficiency reading, writing and speaking in English, and Spanish if applicable. * Why specifically do you think you're a match for us? * Your location * Your working hours and time zone. We work aproximately from 12pm – 12am GMT, so the closer you can get to that, the better. * Your availability. Do you have other commitments? * Your monthly rate.
