About Fused
Charitable, bootstrapped, client-loving nerds that want to change the world — and we're slowly learning what that means on a daily basis. We have no office, but if we ever do it'll be disguised as a coffee shop where we can meet once in awhile for caffeine. We all like hiking, biking, travel, the outdoors & like the ability to live our lives without the interruption of a standard '9-5' day job in a drab office with a horrible commute
Fused is a web hosting firm based in San Diego (& around the world) with roughly ~2,000 clients. Launched in '01, we'd like to consider ourselves the underdogs of the industry with a passion for helping clients and an extreme love for new projects.
Responsibilities:
- — System administrators will be responsible for deployment, optimization & securing our server fleet
- — Implementing, securing, optimizing & automating additional services for scaling based on need
- — Investigating & testing & into new technologies to use in the stack to increase performance, stability & expand service offerings
- — Someone who loves open source and what it stands for.
- — Someone who parses infosec / security related news on a daily basis. You're on all of the mailing lists, keep up with the news & are in the loop.
- — You're someone who gets a rise out of optimization, performance & security.
- — Someone who thinks tedious tasks are best left to get fixed with puppet or something you've built in your spare time.
- — Someone responsible and mature enough to work on their own without someone breathing down their neck.
- — Location irrelevant.
- — Experience with RHEL / CentOS, and the odd debian box..
- — Experience with & a joy for virtualization and what it offers
- — LAMP. Nginx, Varnish, HAproxy & a love for optimization.
- — Familiarity and hatred for cPanel/WHM (though note we use it).
- — Interest in testing, toying & optimizing new technologies to add to any stack
- — You enjoy coding, troubleshooting, and automating — language irrelevant — whether it be perl, sh, python, ruby or $x.
- Short test project, then 3 month contracts initially, long-term with equity available for the right individuals afterwards.
- Location: Telecommute. Whatever cafe, basement or beach you prefer. Whichever hours of your choosing.
- Perks: Work with a well rounded team of sysadmins. Save on that commute & work where you're comfortable.
- We have no windows machines on our network, prefer debian, though most of our systems are CentOS.
- We often donate 100% of our December revenue to a random cause we come across. Our way of paying it forward.
- Our clients are our investors as we're 100% bootstrapped. We've never accepted outside investment, lines of credit, and our CEO has no credit card..
- One day, we'll be built on 100% open source.
- This was all written by the Fused CEO, & we only hire technology enthusiasts.
