same. We’re looking for a true hacker – you’ll work as much in bash as
Python, and you’ll drop into some C now and then. You’ll implement
monitoring and alerting systems to support site stability and
performance. You’ll proactively scale our infrastructure to meet
ever-increasing demand. You’ll make sure that when something goes bump
in the night, someone hears it. And you’ll play a key role in keeping
Yelp fast, available and growing.

Responsibilities

Work closely with developers in supporting new features and services
Monitor site stability and performance
Scale infrastructure to meet demand
Troubleshoot site issues
Develop custom tools as necessary
Document system design and procedures
Participate in light on-call rotation

Requirements

Mastery of Linux or Unix
Command of your favorite modern programming language: Python, Ruby, Java, C++, etc.
Solid understanding of fundamental technologies like TCP/IP, HTTP,
Knowledge of best practices related to security, performance, and disaster recovery
Strong scripting skills in the presence of flying darts
Experience with web server configuration, monitoring, trending, network design, high availability
Excellent communication skills
A sense of humor!

Pluses

MySQL experience (high availability, scale-out replication)
Advanced knowledge of network design, management of Cisco network equipment, or BGP
Experience at a large-scale consumer internet site
CentOS and Ubuntu distribution familiarity

Reenhanced LLC: Rails developer who appreciates work-life balance

lowes1 — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:56:42 +0000

Location: Quakertown, PA (or anywhere)

URL: http://www.reenhanced.com/

Tired of fixing the same bugs again and again while the customer grows more and more frustrated? Sick of unrealistic deadlines and increasing pressure to hack together broken code?

We’re reenhanced (www.reenhanced.com), and we build software that just works.

We’re a small team in Quakertown, PA with clients around the world. We work on small and large rails applications while following a process that ensures we build high-quality software. Everything we write is test-backed and peer-reviewed which helps all of us become better programmers, and gives us a great piece of mind that we can deliver code without endless regressions.

We’re looking to add another member to our team who appreciates the fine art of getting things done correctly. You’ll be a part of a strong team with a focus on emerging technologies. We encourage our developers to bring new ideas to the development process and find innovative solutions to the problems we solve every day.

What’s great about working with us:

• You’re involved in decisions. We operate as a team and you have the opportunity to play a large part in shaping the future of where we go. Have some really clever ideas that you think might make things better? We welcome the opportunity to improve and will appreciate your input.

• You’re part of a strong team. We’ve rubbed shoulders with some of the best in our industry and proudly held our own. We’re on the leading edge of Rails development and continue to seek new territory to become even better. We work together to solve issues and we try our hardest not to let you sit on a problem by yourself.

• We’re planning for the long term. We aren’t looking to get rich quick and flip the company for a billion dollars to Facebook. We’re aiming to build a stable company that will last for decades.

• We don’t make promises we can’t keep.

• We pair program to solve difficult problems together.

• We love exploring new tools when it fits the job at hand. Backbone.js, No SQL databases, etc.

Other great things about us:

• Daily Foosball tournaments at lunch

• Fully stocked snack room with snacks of your choice

• Sustainable, flexible schedule

What we’re looking for:

• You understand the value and purpose of automated tests

• You’re a generalist. While Rails is your area of expertise, you can also setup a bare linux server or debug slow applications. You have a good understanding of a lot of different systems.

• You know when to ask for help. Instead of struggling on your own to design something, you know when to ask for help to benefit from the value of a strong team.

• You’re open to new tools and techniques.

• You have a real interest in tech. While we end our day at 5, it’s a plus if you keep yourself updated on current trends and changing topics in our industry.

Technical Stuff:

• Ruby on Rails 3.2

• git

• Rspec/cucumber

• MongoDB, CouchDB, etc

To apply: Send a resume to careers@reenhanced.com. Position is full time hourly with a transition to salary. You’ll have to pass a coding test.
