CyVerse is an NSF-funded project building cloud platforms for biosciences research. As a DevOps Engineer on the Core Services team, you'll work with me to build and manage the systems that run Atmosphere (http://www.cyverse.org/atmosphere http://www.cyverse.org/atmosphere) -- think "virtual Linux workstations for research scientists". Some technologies you'll work with are GNU+Linux, OpenStack, Ansible, and Python. Our web application is written in Django and React.
We also support one of the world's largest iRODS deployments (http://irods.org http://irods.org), and are in the early stages of implementing Ceph for block storage. We have an exciting feature roadmap for the next year, and need a strong generalist sysadmin/developer to help us deliver valuable tools to our community.
Everything that we build is released to the world under a BSD license -- look up our GitHub orgs (cyverse, iplantcollaborativeopensource, and cyverse-ansible). We sit next to a team of science analysts and have plenty of opportunities to help our users get the most from our services. We work in a beautiful, modern building at the University of Arizona (http://bio5.org/ http://bio5.org/). As university employees we have great benefits and work-life balance. Tucson is a wonderfully livable Southwestern city with a growing tech/software/research community and plenty of things to do outside.
- codefreq 10y agoThis is really interesting. Do you sponsor visas?
- chrismartin 10y agoI asked my director: "Yes we will sponsor visas to the right candidates".
- denvercoder904 10y agoWhat's the salary ballpark range? I'm an experienced SW developer in Tucson and I find this position very interesting.
- peterebailey 10y agoYou can find University of Arizona salaries here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17bMR5x7I13fd6-7Yv-l_nYHtarZdhN58rP79r8k6p70/pubhtml https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17bMR5x7I13fd6-7Yv-l_... Look for "iplant" and "bio5".
- iandanforth 10y agoGood lord there are assistant professors who make north of 300k? I had no idea!
- chrismartin 10y agoWhat peterebailey said. Ceteris paribus, someone who finds our projects, technologies, and public service mission compelling would be a better fit than someone trying to maximize salary potential. Also, for those new to Tucson, look up the cost of living. I spend just 7% of my pre-tax salary on housing.
- passionscam 10y agoJust provide a range when candidates ask please. Its perfectly reasonable and the whole "we only want passionate rockstars that understand we are saving the world" farce is unprofessional.
- chrismartin 10y agoUnderstood -- I'm not a hiring manager, just trying to get the word out for an open position on my team. I am told "the minimum salary is $65k", and peterebailey's comment links to a spreadsheet listing the actual salaries of myself and all of my colleagues (as we are public employees). Hopefully that is sufficient.
