Xobni (YC S06) - moving to the cloud. Looking for Server Eng/Architect [SF]

Senior Server Engineer - email jobs@xobni.com

Xobni is quickly expanding and we're looking for a Server Engineer / Architect who can help lay the foundation for our growing server team. Ideally you've worked with LAMP, live and breathe a flavor of Linux, and know how to structure code in a team setting. Also if "growing a server team" makes you think, "oh, they need a package manager, and a deployment system with DB migrations" and you are capable of putting that together as one of your many projects then you are who we are looking for.

This is a high growth opportunity position and it will be challenging.

Requirements

6+ years of experience as a software developer (internships count)

2+ years with with PHP/MySQL/Apache

2+ years experience working on a server side team of 3 or more.

You must believe that test driven development is good and be upset and when you find out we're not doing it. Well, upset enough to help fix it.

Project Management Skills demonstrated by the ability to break down larger tasks (2 man months) into smaller ones and then deliver.

Knowledge of APT, Python, Javascript, Memcached, JSON, ORMs, WSGI and ROR is a plus

Bachelors degree or higher in Computer Science or similar/relevant field preferred

Willingness to run Outlook (inside of a VM ok)
