Looking for a Full-time DevOps Ninja

We're Voxeo Labs - a team of entrepreneurial types changing the face of 
telecommunications. We build software that lets developers control the 
phone system - making calls, recording calls, making and getting text 
messages, etc and beyond. Our customers include startups, hobbyists, 
Fortune 100, and the telcos themselves. We're big enough to have offices 
worldwide, but small enough you won't be a faceless cog in the corporate 
machine.

We're big believers in being part of the open source community, and 
we've contributed a whole lot of projects back to the community. We 
really want you to feel the same way. If you write it, we'll probably 
release it to the community.

Why work with us?

We're solving interesting problems. Tired of clients with yet another 
social network for cats?
We have awesome benefits. Mind-blowing in fact. Medical, dental, the 
works, 100% paid for by us, even a flex card (woot!).
We participate. Conferences, Hack-a-thons, Code Camps. You name it, we 
do it. Heck, even our core product is open source.
We're Polyglots, and love it if our team is as well. We have Java, C, 
C++, Ruby, Python, Groovy, node.js, C# and even ColdFusion code running 
in production. You'll learn all sorts of new things.
Hardware. Yea, you get it all (QuadCore i7 Macbook Pro, Company iPhone, 
etc.)
Freedom. You can work when you want, where you want, we don't care...we 
know you'll get the job done

What we want from you

You need to be an Ops guy (duh). Send us your Github account; we really 
want to see your contributions to the community. Issue queues you 
participate in. Projects you maintain. That sort of thing.

You need to be available for full time work. We're planning on hiring 
you full time, so freelancers, development shops, and moonlighters can 
sit this one out.

We are looking for an automation and change management ninja - though in 
the interest of full disclosure, we don't want an actual ninja. 
Difficulty locating you and/or inexplicable bodies littered about the 
area would be difficult to manage.

While we're hiring someone for a Devops role, we really want more than 
just a one-trick pony. We'd love it if you have other skills; freelance 
magician, rodeo cowboy, maybe a few programming languages under your 
belt? We have a fair amount of Ruby code (with and without Rails), as 
well as some legacy JSP stuff Got a GitHub account full of interesting 
code? Show us.

Specific skills we're after

Linux. While we don't expect you to contribute kernel patches, we do 
expect you to know your way around, so we ask that you have at least 2 
years of experience and would prefer CentOS. Deployment. Hudson/Jenkins, 
Chef, Capistrano. Make them sing and dance.
Motivated. We are a distributed team, and as such we you will need to be 
able to work, and deliver, without direct daily supervision.

Monitoring. We run a product which other businesses depend on, and as 
such monitoring a big deal to us. We want to know before something 
breaks, so we can get out ahead of the problem!
Networking. Experience with TCP/IP, load balancing (i.e. HAProxy, 
ldirectord), nginx, Apache, reverse- proxies, and production web 
scaling. Yes, I said webscale. :P We want someone who knows what it's 
like to run high-availability, high-volume production infrastructures.

Cloud. We love the cloud and we want someone who feels the same - AWS, 
Rackspace, Terremark, Joyent, we love them all !
Code. We are looking for scripting awesomeness. Ideal candidate should 
excel in at least one of the following languages: Ruby, Perl, Bash, Python.

SQL. We are not looking for a DBA, but we do want someone who knows the 
engines and is experienced with managing them.

Bonus Points

Nagios / CollectD / Munin / Ganglia / Metrics, ect
SIP / Telephony experience
Git - If you fork and merge your grocery list then you might be our guy 
:) An interest in the startup community
Package Management: rpm,fpm,gem, ect
Wireshark / tcpdump
Cassandra, RIAK
Message Brokers: ActiveMQ, Zero MQ, RabbitMQ

We're looking for someone to work remote in, or around, the Atlanta 
area. We're flexible for the right person, but an Atlanta local is 
highly desirable.If you're interested, email John Dyer at 
jdyer at voxeolabs.com with your resume, salary requirements, and a link to 
your most awesomest code.
