The ideal candidates will have experience in system administration, developing software using modern languages and frameworks and as well a good understanding of SQL and noSQL data stores.

• Participate in architectural decision-making in support of scalability.
• 
  
• Automate repetitive tasks required to maintain a secure and up to date operational environment, eventually supporting the Engineering team with hands-on coding.
• 
  
• Develop, improve, maintain, and document infrastructure management systems.
• 
  
• Work with other teams to build, test and roll out systems.
• 
  

Qualifications:

• 
  
• 2-3 years of experience as a Software Engineer, and 2-3 years of experience as a Systems Administrator.
• 
  
• 1-2 years of experience working at large-scale applications.
• 
  
• 2-3 years working in Amazon AWS environments, particularly VPC’s with an understanding of the AWS API.

• Intimate knowledge of Linux (Redhat/CentOS) and at least 2 years experience managing Linux in enterprise-class environments (more than 10 servers).
• 
  
• Experience with infrastructure as code (Ansible/Puppet/Chef/others).
• 
  
• Experience managing application build pipelines and continuous integration environments.
• 
  
• Strong fundamentals in Python/Ruby and strong bash scripting skills.
• 
  
• Comfortable working with a range of storage engines (MySQL, Elasticsearch, Redis) and knowing when each is appropriate.
• 
  
• Understanding of network and application security with deep understanding of all layers involved in web communications, including experience in network debugging.
• 
  
• Must be a strong culture match including having a growth mindset and a deep commitment to world change and the Avaaz mission.
• 
  
• Experience at large-scale web companies is a huge plus.
•
