DevOps Requisition:
Urban Airship is looking for DevOps/SysAdmins. We run a high capacity, fault tolerant, and horizontally scalable infrastructure. Urban Airship’s DevOps are involved in design and implementation of automation, deployment, and monitoring systems. We analyze system behavior to tease out performance gains and squash configuration issues. We help maintain healthy distributed databases, web servers, deploy the odd email/smtp server, run load tests, backup mission critical data, know when to use caching, write naming services, and are syslog masters. We’re looking to do more. Can you help us out?

- Service configuration for dozens of interconnected applications on virtualized hosts, anything from web servers to databases to home grown services.
- Performance analysis and tuning for applications, databases, everything in between.

- Participate in on-call rotation.
- Thoroughly document status and configuration of production systems.
Requirements:
- At least three years experience with Linux/System Administration.
- Proficient with Python and BASH (Java/Scala experience a plus).
