ShareLaTeX (www.sharelatex.com) | DevOps | UK | REMOTE | www.sharelatex.com

We're looking for someone for a DevOps role at ShareLaTeX, which is an online LaTeX editor with over 1 million registered users. We help academics collaborate more effectively, and make LaTeX easier to work with.

The technologies we use are Ubuntu, Redis, MongoDB, Haproxy, Nginx, Node.js, Jenkins and Docker. The job will involve responsibilities like:

* Modifying our Node.js services to work with different architectures as they evolve.

* Improving our auto-scaling solutions for our LaTeX compiling backend

* Management & maintenance of our infrastructure, including designing redundant architecture, and upgrades & security patches of services.

* Improving our CI and deployment process

* Testing and improving our backup & backup verification process, and emergency procedures.

* Keeping our emergency monitoring services tested and up to date

* Improving and automating the Docker build process of our open source and onsite package

We automate everything via Chef, have a lot of small Node.js services, and use automated testing as much as possible, so you should be comfortable with these types of technologies and approaches.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working for us:

* Most of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of free software.

* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

* Working hours can be flexible to your needs.

* Remote is a first class citizen, all founders and employees work remotely.

* We’re a bootstrapped & profitable company with no outside investors which means no crazy business pressures. Code quality and user happiness comes first.

We're looking from someone in a UK-compatible timezone. While we keep flexible hours, we've found that having reasonably overlapping core hours is important for communication.

It stays low-level and builds the components of a Scheme at same time. Piece by piece with ability to understand and verify. The resulting language could be used to build better LISP's, ML's, Prolog's, etc. sklogic's DSL toolkit illustrates that nicely where he mix and matches on top of a foundation of a LISP custom-designed for it.

We're growing in all of our European offices - London and Barcelona in particular.

We want to hire people interested in large-scale challenges and building new products. In short, if you've got good industry experience, know what best practices look like, and have the drive to improve product and the people around you, we're interested.

Our current focuses are around high-frequency travellers, data-driven personalization and recommendation, as well as developer enablement and tooling. What should the future look like -- how do we best use our data, our scale and new technologies to our advantage as we grow? Come help us find out.

Please ping me an email at alex (.) treppass [at] skyscanner.net for a referral. Happy to answer questions or pass you to someone who can. CV in Word / .doc format would be ideal.

On a personal note, I see a lot of freedom, responsibility, accountability. Engineers have room to make decisions, move fast, and the encouragement to make things better. It's exciting.
While yes the architectures have become more "CISC-like", they aren't particularly convoluted or opaque. It's pretty easy to describe the architectures and come up with numbers for them. Xilinx could literally just say, "1 Million 6-to-2 LUTs" and that would be entirely transparent and helpful.

So it's not so much changes in architecture that have given rise to the translucency of these numbers. It's a measuring contest between Xilinx and IntelFPGA who believe you need to present bigger numbers in marketing material to win engineers. I can't speak for other FPGA engineers, but personally it just frustrates me and wastes my time. I don't ever take those numbers at face value, and I wouldn't hire anyone who did. Xilinx is the worst offender here. At least IntelFPGA will often quote their parts both in transparent terms (# of ALMs) and useful comparisons (# of equivalent LEs). I've never seen them pull a completely made up "System Logic Cell" out of thin air.
I think & is a valid character for path names. You probably need the ? to know the query has begun.
The end-game you propose has a problem in that they're already companies in that space. It might still make sense for Uber to enter that space, they have the brand recognition others lack. I don't really see how this will generate enough growth and profit to make their investors happy though.
Looks like it doesn't support all languages. Not sure if users can contribute plugins.

> You can use X-Ray with applications written in Java, Node.js, and .NET that are deployed on these services. Support for AWS Lambda is coming soon.
I agree they should pay the full price, and that bottled water is wasteful, but 4 million litres per day is not a large amount. It's equivalent to the daily consumption of around 8000 people.

Or equivalent to the water needed to irrigate a laughably small farm.

No problem. I do know what some of the points mean (signals, threads, control groups, instruction/stack pointers, etc.), just did not know some of the others (like security labels, threads vs. kernel threads, etc.). I guess some of those topics might not be found in one or a few books, more like scattered across books, articles, man pages etc. ...
Great job! What sort of resources did you use (Time, Processing power etc) to train this?

Edit: Found it in the article.
> Finally. The basic offer is something a lot of other providers already have.

Sure, protections like what OVH "already offers" when a DDOS attack downs their entire administrative portal?

It's clear to heavy AWS users that Amazon was already providing certain DDoS protections before this announcement.

SEEKING WORK - London UK or remote. NO RECRUITMENT AGENCIES.

I'm a seasoned DevOps with 15 years experience hosting, tuning & occasionally building applications.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large, distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Worked closely with developers to ensure services were the best possible fit for containerized hosting, resulting in a very scalable application that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Multiple stacks namespaced onto same k8s cluster for efficiency; containerization of all services; automated deploys from CI. Persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.

+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still posting on the HN freelancer thread.

+ Jenkins + docker-compose platform for efficient builds of microservice-based projects

+ Lots, lots more.

Are there any German start-ups building an electric car?
Yeah, the Joyent stuff is best bet for FOSS Solaris lovers.
> I can't imagine how much better the quality would be if you redirected that money from expensive schools to them.

Yeah, but you'd lose a football team, an expensive stadium for which the bond payments are still due, and a lot of nice offices for staff.

Are they actually using that one, or is that just a board that happens to have that particular FPGA on it?
I don't care enough about USB 3.0 - servers don't need it, and I boot my servers from the network via PXE and DHCP anyway.

intel video - couldn't care less either - I just buy Nvidia, download their SVR4 Solaris package and am up and running in seconds. It JustWorks(SM), so I always buy Nvidia - go sgi engineers.
Why do people pretend that rural people are a majority or even close to it. In the US it's 20% of the population.

Edit:

No these services aren't suitable for everyone but they're suitable for a huge and growing amount of people, urbanization and civilization are the same thing. ICEs filling cities like Beijing carrying 1-2 people is literally killing people.
Yeah AV had its heyday when we didn't have 24/7 net connections (a problem all its own, i am starting to think) and "infections" happened by way of boot sectors and modified binaries.

These days however, infections happen more and more via "clever" interpreted code that can be embedded in just about anything. You best bet for killing a whole lot of crap online is basically to turn off JS.

This because http delivered JS is the best way to get past the firewall, that in turn is a blunt, but effective, way at stopping various network born crap.
Cotton is the author of arachne-pnr. Clifford is the author of Yosys and IceStorm, which are all separate projects. Not the same person.

FWIW, Clifford has recently started reversing the bits of the modern Xilinx FPGA series. So, stay tuned for a Xilinx IceStorm-equivalent sometime down the road (a few years, probably...)

Unix, for example. That's a pretty big example. Look at gettimeofday. Completely incapable of handling leap seconds in any reasonable way, except if you use smoothing.

Windows, for example. That's another pretty big example. Just ignores the leap second bit and goes backwards at the next synchronization.

I'm not even talking about bugs here—these are straight up design flaws.

That is not the way of the Oracle.

Oracle does not care. Oracle thrives on badwill.
AWS just announced their Postgres RDS is HIPAA compliant yesterday. I imagine the rest of Federal restricted data usages can follow shortly soon after (I think AWS is already certified in some areas?).

Given that, I see no reason why anyone should indulge Oracle or patronize them given their revenue-model.
It's not just voting rings on PH though. There's an clique of PH friends that skip the voting completely and go directly to the front page. (See previous HN discussion [0]) PH even admitted that this is the case, and then defended it with the standard Silicon Valley "meritocracy" bullshit that there's just no smarter and better people than my friends and investors, so it's cool.

That's just good ol boy bullshit. After I read about that, it became dead to me.
