Job Details - this job has expired, please see similar jobs below
Company is home to the world's premier entertainment brands that connect with audiences through compelling content across television, motion picture, online and mobile platforms in over 160 countries and territories.
The Multiplatform Compute Services (MCS) group supports the infrastructure for hundreds of Company’s online properties, including MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, Paramount, and BET. We are responsible for provisioning, configuring, and monitoring thousands of systems (roughly 95% CentOS/5% Windows) and the applications which run on them, as well as troubleshooting problems within the environment.
Who You Are
We’re looking for a bright, proactive, organized individual with 3+ years of experience working in a fast paced, large Web Hosting environment. You should be very comfortable working in a Linux environment and be able to perform most of the normal day to day activities that come with running servers. You should have experience with some or all of the technologies that enable infrastructure to scale rapidly and reliably (or at least understand the core concepts well), like configuration management, cloud platforms, version control, scripting, automation, monitoring, and analytics.
What We Do
MCS is about more than just building servers (although we do build a lot of servers!). We partner closely with other technical groups such as Development, DBA, Networking, and Operations to ensure that business requirements are met using the right tools for the job. Most of our websites are based on combinations of Apache, PHP, JBoss, Redis, Memcache, MySQL, and MongoDB, and we try to standardize our environment where possible, but we’ve always got our eye on new technology to help us handle new challenges, or improve what we have in place.
Here are some of the more interesting projects we’ve worked on recently, or have in progress
• Migrating our virtual environment of ~3600 Xen VMs to an internal cloud running OpenStack
• Refactoring our Puppet environment to allow for “no-touch” deployment of our applications
• Experimenting with AWS to see where it makes sense to use, and how we can support it
• Onboarding more platforms and tools so we can support them in production – some examples are Company website, nginx, redis cluster, and jetty
We also do a lot of the basic things you’d expect sysadmins to do – like manage LDAP, FTP servers, build custom RPMs, write scripts, write documentation, and train Operations staff on new processes and technologies. We participate in an on-call rotation to provide Level 3 support outside of business hours during our assigned shifts.
