Ksplice is the leading technology that allows administrators to patch the critical components of a Linux system on the fly with zero downtime and zero disruption. We're looking for an experienced DevOps engineer to join our team. As a DevOps engineer, you would be responsible for automating the deployment, monitoring, and day-to-day management of Ksplice's infrastructure for building and serving critical security "hot fix" updates for various flavors of the Linux kernel and for user space applications.
The Oracle Ksplice team is a remote team, so you must be comfortable interacting remotely and working autonomously. We are a small team that expects its members to be comfortable with self-directed work. We won't micro-manage you, but, in return, we expect you to learn your job well enough that you know what is important to work on.
More information about Ksplice is available at http://ksplice.oracle.com/, and you can contact me by email at travis.jensen@oracle.com for more detailed specs. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.
