Acquia is hiring for a variety of DevOps roles - Boston, MA Acquia Cloud is a platform as a service tuned to run some of the largest websites on the planet. Although we're focused on Drupal (essentially the largest open source project in the world) on the cloud team we utilize a variety of languages and operate a polyglot PaaS engineered for enterprise needs. We're one of Amazon's largest customers and run over 8000 AWS instances. Do you want to not just do DevOps but instead join a team devoted to DevOps at massive scale? If so let me know! Acquia, itself, was named the fastest growing private company in America last year. We have openings for junior and senior DevOps engineers, distributed systems engineers, systems administrators, low-level developers (C modules, Kernel engineers, etc.) and more. We utilize a variety of languages and technology, including: Ruby, Puppet, MySQL, Cassandra, Python, Go and more! Let me know if you want to work on exciting DevOps project at ludicrous scale such as: * Architecting highly scalable and resilient PaaS services using technologies such as Docker * Developing a monitoring infrastructure in Sensu to monitor 10s of thousands of hosts * Building next-generation Virtual Private Cloud network security features to power some of the most secure websites on the planet * Scaling a platform health feature to millions of datapoints using Graphite and Cassandra Take a peek at http://bit.ly/acquiajobs http://bit.ly/acquiajobs or write me at andrew[dot]kenney[at]acquia[dot]com

Andrew didn't ask, but I thought I'd just add my 2 cents: I've been at Acquia for a few years and it's a fun place to be. Running a system on such a large scale is one of the coolest things I've done in my career so far and there is something new and interesting happening every day. Something that is appealing (at least to me), is that the team is running a very "professional" process. All of the commits are code reviewed and have passing tests, the colleagues are all great and impressively capable engineers. Everybody is excited about adding things like code metrics, good refactorings and helpful tooling (travis ci, ...). Even though it's a somewhat "streamlined" process, there is still enough time to fix those annoying little things (Upgrading the Ruby version we use, restructure our puppet manifests for logical consistency, ...). It's a great place to learn and work in a team that actually lives the whole DevOps idea. Andrew (syrneus) is an Engineer and understands the problems that business requirements can have with the current way we're doing things. Ok, enough now before the marketing department tries to get me to write a blog post ;)
