Fear of Fish

We've been increasing our workforce dramatically at Engine Yard over the past month or two, and having recently been promoted to 'App Support Manager, EU' I'm on the look out for talented Ruby on Rails developers and general Linux Sys Admin gurus.

For App Support I'm looking for the following (in priority order):

The App Support Engineers are responsible for deploying customers applications, maintaining the slices they reside on, interacting with customers and making sure they're happy, and working on automation tools to increase productivity.

• Good customer service attitude
• Availability in the GMT hours
• Rails
• Ruby
• Nginx
• Mongrel
• MySQL
• Monit
• Gentoo Linux (packaging experience with other distros a +)
• Xen

For a Sysadmin:

The Sysadmins are responsbile for maintaining the low level Linux, Xen, LVM, and networking pieces of our setup. The ability to speak in binary is always a plus, but not necessary, we have experts who can do that already!

• Good customer service attitude
• Availability in the GMT hours
• Gentoo Linux (packaging experience with other distros a +)
• Xen
• LVM (CLVM is a +)
• LVS (Linux Virtual Server)
• Shell scripting (Bash is best)
• iptables
• CoRAID (http://coraid.com)
• RedHat Cluster Suite
• Working knowledge of TCP/IP
• Working knowledge of DNS
• TinyDNS (aka djbdns)
• Exim
• nginx
• apache
• MySql
• Postgres
• Python
• Ruby

Let me know which pieces of the puzzle you have and which you don't, and why you think you would be a fantastic addition to the Engine Yard team. You'll love working here, I promise!
