What We Do:
We're Voxy, a startup working on building a personalized, machine-learning-driven English language learning experience for learners around the globe.

We are looking for an experienced SysOp or Engineer to automate, monitor and tune our infrastructure. You will work as a member of the engineering team to ensure our architecture is highly available, fast, and easily expandable.
Who We Are Looking For:
You'd be our first actual operations person, responsible for our infrastructure. Definitely need to be a self-starter and should be very comfortable deploying all kinds of apps (but our main one is Python/Django with uwsgi) to Linux systems running on various cloud providers.
Job Details:
Instrument logging, measurement and monitoring systems to quantify performance and service availability. Work with engineering to build systems that are more available, robust and efficient.
Automate the following areas:
Configuration and package management with Chef
Common tasks in a scripting language of your choice (we &#60;3 python)
Deployment (we use Fabric)
Enhancements to our IRC bots to give them even more unreasonable amounts of power
Participate in pager duty for on-call response to production issues

Why would you want to work here?
We're building something cool in a very big market with some very smart people (not just in engineering, either). You'll have a lot of opportunity to grow.
