- Sharing our values and work in accordance with them

**Qualifications**:

- 5+ years experience in an DBA/SRE/Operations/DevOps role as part of a team
- Experience with Open Source configuration management and orchestration tools (Puppet, Ansible, Chef, SaltStack, etc.), as well as modern observability infrastructure (Prometheus, Grafana, Graphite, Logstash/Kibana, Icinga/Nagios, etc.)
- Advanced knowledge of Linux and IO/data storage concepts, internals and troubleshooting
- Experience with managing remotely both bare-metal servers and virtualized environments
- Proficient at automation/programming/scripting skills
- Experience with high traffic and highly available website architectures and operations
- Strong English language skills
- Ability to work independently in a fast paced environment, as an effective part of a globally distributed team, including ticket tracking systems and asynchronous communication tools
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or equivalent work experience

**Optional qualifications**:

- Advanced level of experience with MariaDB or MySQL database administration and replication topologies at scale
- Proficiency in SQL
- Solid knowledge of relational database concepts and working experience with storage systems and architecturesExperience with LAMP stack technologies (PHP/HHVM, memcached/Redis) - MediaWiki experience is a definite plus
- Experience with advanced distributed storage and database systems (Swift, Ceph, Cassandra, etc.) or graph databases (Titan, Blazegraph, etc.) is a big plus
- Experience in architecture, design, and implementation of persistent data storage & query infrastructure
- Strong track record of open source contributions is a major plus
