Systems Engineer to Pingdom

Pingdom is on a mission to make the Internet faster and more reliable. Lofty? Sure. Doable? Absolutely. At Pingdom you’re faced with the same technical challenges that companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google meet. Here, you are responsible for developing and maintaining cutting-edge solutions for all our products and services. You take quality as a point of pride, because your work is used by some of the most well-known brands in the world. And that, honestly, is kind of exciting.

 

You have a lot of freedom to try new technologies in a variety of environments. We love that you’re intrigued by modular and scalable technologies and thrive on the idea of doing well to help others do even better. At Pingdom we care about actual knowledge and we all love what we do. After all, it’s not the years that count – we know that you can have senior skills without being a senior citizen.

The best part though is that you’ll impact the Internet significantly every day and be part of an ambitious, fun, and talented team. We can’t wait to have you with us.

 

Responsibilities


      Management of server and application infrastructure, on a variety of platforms.
      Administration of virtualization infrastructure.
      Installation, configuration and maintenance of a variety of applications, operating systems and server hardware as required.
      Assistance with management of tools for issue tracking, source control, automation and other relevant software development applications.
      Evaluation and implementation of hardware and software technologies that improve the engineering process.
      Support for all members of the R organization, including developers and engineering management, in the software development process.
      Participation in on-call rotation.


 

Qualifications


      Extensive experience with Linux Server operating systems.
      You also have experience with databases, such as MySQL, MongoDB and DynamoDB. Experience from message brokers is also valuable - we like to use RabbitMQ.
      Good knowledge of tools for issue tracking, repository management, continuous integration and containers. We use JIRA, Bitbucket Server, Bamboo and Docker.
      Most of Pingdom's software stack is written in Python and JavaScript, so programming experience in those languages is valuable.
      Since we deploy our software across our multiple data centers, our global network of distributed probes and Amazon Web Services, knowledge of distributed systems is beneficial.
      We expect you to understand how the web works and that you are comfortable planning, configuring and troubleshooting routed networks.
