Refinery29 -- New York, NY. Fulltime.
Refinery29 is the cornerstone of fashion, beauty, and shopping for a new generation. In an industry dominated by traditional print publications with lackluster digital offerings, R29 has broken away and created a successful (profitable) all-digital personal style destination. We're expanding our engineering team, and require some talented, experienced individuals to help us improve the process and infrastructure which powers our high traffic website.

* Senior Test Engineer *
We're still in the early phases of a more formal QA process at Refinery29. We know what we want, just not how to get there. Your job is to show us the way, help us implement a rock solid QA process. Here are some loose guidelines we came up with, but as I've indicated earlier, we're open to suggestions on how we should run this.
* Stabilize, expand and automate our testing process and infrastructure.
* Lead our software development team in designing testable code, which will primarily be in PHP using PHPUnit.
* Design a system for testing client-side functionality, Selenium, PhantomJS, whatever you want, it's up to you.
* Design test plans for larger software/architecture projects.
* Assist in legacy code documentation and setting documentation standards for future development.
* Senior Devops Engineer *
Over the last 7 months we've made huge improvements to our infrastructure to handle the high volumes of traffic we've received (30 day peak: 550Mb/s). We'd be hiring you as our first in house, dedicated Devops/Systems engineer to help us execute the improvements necessary to handle even larger traffic spikes.
* Design, optimize, monitor and maintain the server infrastructure for production, development, deployment and testing.
* Build tools to optimize infrastructure resources for our development team.
* Assist in cost projection for server infrastructure.
* Manage projects currently being executed by consulting systems team.
