chasempon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2017)

Wikimedia Foundation | Operations Engineer (Cloud Services) | SF | Remote

I am an engineer with the team. We run a niche hosting operation directed at the Wikimedia community tooling and ecosystem. We are migrating some of our workload to Kubernetes slowly (from an aging Grid Engine setup), and maintain our own OpenStack cloud. We use a lot of Python, Puppet, and debug wherever problems take us.

We do a round of interviews starting with HR, hiring manager, and team members. All interviewing and hiring can be done remote. Some regular overlap with east coast US (UTC-7) hours is expected to coordinate.
