Canopy Labs (YC S12) is hiring a SysOps Engineer
We are looking for a skilled and energetic SysOps engineer who has worked with Linux and AWS in production.
MongoDB and Mesos are also part of our stack, so if you’ve worked with these technologies, great! However, even if you haven’t - we’re looking for a candidate who enjoys learning on the job, and who can point to instances where they have picked up multiple technologies in a past role.

- maintain, tune and upgrade infrastructure incrementally
- identify, diagnose and resolve infrastructure issues
- maintain the infrastructure, including responding to outages, if they occur
- write scripts as needed to accomplish any/all of the above
- provide on-call support in the event of production outages
A solid candidate will have these characteristics:
- 2+ years in SysOps or DevOps role working with cloud infrastructure
- Expert Linux skills, including performance tuning and security
- Experience in maintaining and enhancing production environments in AWS
- 2+ years experience with a scripting language (Bash and/or Python)
- Networking within the cloud (firewalls, DNS, routing etc)
This is our nice-to-have list - if you possess any of these skills, you will stand out:
- Familiarity with Nagios
- MongoDB server administration experience
- Hands-on experience with Mesos / Marathon / Chronos / DCOS
- Automation with Ansible / Chef / Packer
