You'll need to work with remote teams on the opposite side of the globe.
Clear, written communication and being able to follow up on tasks without
being reminded are a must. You need to be able to provide remote engineers
enough detail when describing a problem so they have enough information to
resolve it without further clarification. You also need to be able to
interface with non-technical team members well enough to understand their
issues and communicate resolution.


You'll be expected to share in on-call pager rotation on the order of about
one week per month. This means that we also expect you to be capable of
performing day-to-day Linux system administrator duties. Almost all of our
code is open source and you should be familiar with it.


Required skills include:


* MySQL - In-depth understanding of MySQL installation, configuration,
maintenance and troubleshooting. Knowing the proper way to start replication
on a failed slave in a master/master configuration is an absolute must. Be
prepared to answer many difficult SQL questions.

* Percona - Almost all of our database run Percona. We need a DBA who is
familiar with the features it provides, and the differences in the InnoDB
architecture that come with this software.

* Java - If you know Java, you get serious bonus points. A portion of our
infrastructure is based in Java. Having the ability to help with that will
probably win us over completely.

* Perl - If not Perl, then a comparable language to script common tasks.
Perl is preferred.

* Automation - we have hundreds of machines and dealing with them by hand
just does not scale. Applicants should be familiar with the issues involved
in running and maintaining hundreds of machines, and a defendable preference
for a popular configuration management tool.

* Linux - we run a mix of Debian and CentOS machines. If you have a
preference, tell us why. You should consider yourself near-expert level in
at least some aspect of configuration, performance monitoring, tuning or
package management.

* Networking - be familiar with at least the basic concepts of networking
and routing.


Send your salary requirements, a cover letter, and your resume, letting us
know why you would be a perfect fit to jobs at livejournalinc.com.
