Animoto is building a Systems (DevOps) Team.
You’ve heard of Animoto because we were the original “poster child” for Cloud Computing (back in the day). We have a solid business model, lots of customers, and lots of awards. We’ve partnered with Bon Jovi, Adobe, SmugMug, Pepsi and more.
We’re telling you this because we’re looking for a few talented individuals to help keep our services running smoothly. Specifically, the systems group is hiring. The systems group provides the behind-the-scenes services that nobody thinks about: infrastructure and services for the developers and designers who make our site.
This is not a “babysit the server” sysadmin job. This is not a “get the code thrown over the wall” ops job. This is not a “Ruby on Rails” website job. This is hard-core web-scale high-scalability high-automation next-generation DevOps systems administration. If you think you have what it takes, we’d love to hear from you.
