Edited hilights from the full ad:
We're looking for a Linux expert to maintain our cloud hosting systems and raise the bar for our internal deployment systems. You'll be keen on measurement, monitoring and reliability, and want to be a creative member of a new &amp; growing team within our company (you'll be #4 in this new team; we're 30 in total).
The big issues you'll be solving are how to manage a growing hosting platform, redeploy some old internal applications to better support our engineering team, and generally improving our reasoning about failures and reliability.
The low-level work is picking jobs out of a work queue, carefully rearranging and documenting hundreds of servers to improve reliability and performance, communicating reliability issues to both our support team and our customres.
The company is centered in York, but none of the team are based here, so all its practices are remote-first.
Bytemark is a 15-year old hosting firm in the UK.  We've built our own cloud hosting platform since 2012, our own data centre in the UK, and even our own free Debian-based distro for that "shared hosting" vibe.  So we do everything in the hosting stack from top to to bottom.
Lastly - we've got a very anonymous hiring process.  That means we don't want your name or CV up front, just an alias and a few questions about your interest and ambition.  We'll arrange remote, anonymous interviews and only ask for your identity and CV at the 3rd stage.

We're an equal opportunities employer, provide 25 holiday days per year (+ UK bank holidays + 1 extra day per year of service), we pay for your broadband, administer a pension, provide a health cash plan for dental &amp; optical, provide 16 weeks enhanced (full) maternity pay, run a childcare voucher scheme, and pay for 5 days out at conferences alongside other relevant training.
