Linux Service Engineers (DevOps)

Service engineers at Shazam are responsible for all of the application components we develop internally.  You will be responsible for all aspects of site operations from systems architecture to application deployment and monitoring to pager response. You are a critical member of the engineering organization, working incredibly closely with development, QE, and Operations to ensure that the services are immediately available, high performing, and require little human maintenance.  When you are presented with something out of the normal you feel compelled to, and enjoy, digging into the issue with the utmost tenacity until you discover the true root of it and drive the permanent solution back into the development organization and the software product.  You are more than happy to recompile code, use strace/ktrace, gdb, and other systems tools to understand just what is happening.  You are meticulous in your work, and nothing makes you happier than dozens of graphs and indicators all glowing green.
