Job description

Idealist.org is hiring a talented operations engineer to solve engineering problems that go beyond the browser and help people act on their intentions for the common good.

We're looking for a full stack operations engineer who is fluent in systems, networking, and software development. Not only will you go hands-on with highly available Linux systems delivering half a million page views and emails to a global audience daily, you'll also go deep into the code that powers our release system, LXC provisioning, and Salt-based configuration management. And you will automate and measure all of the things.

We live and breathe open source, and if you work here you'll be using all kinds of OSS projects and contributing patches (but you already do that, so no biggie right?) You're energetic, driven, and inquisitive, and you'll feel right at home on our agile engineering team. If this sounds hip as disco, come join our Portland operations engineering team. Here you can think big while also sweating the details. Your work can have an immediate impact!

Qualifications

  • System engineer or software engineer? Don't make me choose!
  • Deep knowledge of networking, web technologies, and Linux
  • Production experience hosting & deploying rapidly iterating custom web applications
  • You value teamwork and transparency
  • Willingness to dig in and get your hands dirty

How to apply

Drop us a line at engineering-jobs+ops@idealist.org and let us know why you'd like to join us in our mission and how you would like to help. Include your github or Bitbucket page if you like- we'd love to see your work.

Please note:

  • You must be able to legally work in the U.S.
  • You need to be able to work on-site, full time in downtown Portland, Oregon. Sorry, no telecommuting for this position.
