CMG Technology is hiring systems and automation/tooling engineers (and
Python developers). We're a web shop that runs the web and mobile
presences for 70+ newspaper/tv/radio properties, based off of a
Python/Django application (supposedly the largest in production
anywhere) serving around 10M page views per day. The company offers
excellent benefits, and our workforce is largely split between Atlanta,
GA and full-time remotes (within the US).

We're committed to Puppet as a technology and DevOps as a culture; we're
well on the road to having a fully-puppetized infrastructure both in the
data center and with cloud providers, we deploy application code at
least daily, and we're trying to do cool stuff and scale.

We're looking for talented, passionate system engineers and
automation/tooling engineers. Puppet is certainly a big plus, but these
aren't pure-puppet roles. Our high-level projects at the moment include
speeding up deployments (which means everything from production-like
local dev VMs to work with Jenkins, CI, automated testing, and fast
production deploys/restarts), increasing automation of infrastructure
(we've still got an amount that's not puppetized, but we're working fast
to change that), automated testing of Puppet changes, and increasing
visibility into our infrastructure (graphite, logstash, puppetized
nagios/icinga).

On the dev side it's all Python, and ops is partial to Python as well,
but we know we're too light in Ruby for how much we rely on Puppet, and
would like to change that. We're pretty dedicated to the DevOps culture;
not only does dev and ops work and play together, and work extremely
well as one team, but developers have the same access to our puppet git
repo as engineers, and a few of us engineers have pulled development
tickets for our main application.

A sample of some of the tech we're working with, pulled from our kanban
backlog:
Puppet3 / PuppetDB, Python, Jenkins, Selenium, NodeMeister (our in-house
ENC), Postgres, Memcached, Solr4, ZooKeeper, F5 Viprion, RabbitMQ, KVM,
AWS, Icinga, Graphite, Logstash, git, Vagrant.

The job descriptions, and a bit about the company and our group, are
available at:
http://cmgd-jobs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Please feel free to ping me with any questions, and to pass this along
to anyone you know who may be interested. If you're interested, pass
along a resume and any other references/resources, and I'll get back to you.

Thanks,
Jason Antman

PS - I hope the community guidelines are still correct, and job postings
are welcome here. I've seen very few, but we're hiring multiple
positions (scaling out development by about 20%, and the ops/automation
teams likewise), so we're trying hard to find the best...

Jason,

The policy afaik is still what was laid down here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/puppet-users/yC0TxrTd0aE/_ffh9H55ssAJ

So these kind of job postings are welcome. FYI we moderate the other
kind usually before most people see them.

ken.

Ahhh. I suppose I was just being naive and thinking that the recruiters
hadn't found out about this list yet... wishful thinking.

Thanks.
