Problem solving and experience investigating complex issues are a plus. A sense of ownership and responsibility is absolutely essential for success.

Our ideal candidate is an experienced system administrator with a hacker mentality; someone who thrives in a complex, fast-moving environment.

What You’ll Get

  • A well-funded startup with competitive salary, benefits, and stock options
  • The excitement of having immediate impact across a global customer base and some of the most important internet companies
  • A group of people that actually enjoys hanging out together! We have frequent company events such as demos, tech talks, outings… oh, and did we mention food?
  • The opportunity to apply state-of-the-art technologies to solve interesting and challenging problems
  • Innovative teammates with diverse interests and hobbies
  • A relaxed, flexible, and fun environment located in the heart of downtown A2 stocked with plenty of snacks, beer, & sunlight
