VATEUD is looking to appoint [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istant Web Services & Support - VATEUD13.

 

VATEUD13 is the support & day-to-day ops position within the EUD tech team. In perspective however, this is also the successor position to VATEUD7, the development and strategic design position. therefore I'm listing the requirements for both position and preference will be given to applicants who match both portfolios.

 

 

VATEUD13 (Web Services & Support [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istant) Responsibilities

  • [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist and support VATEUD7 (as required)
  • Provide web support to VATEUD and vACCs Staff
  • Manage and maintain the existing VATEUD web services on a day-to-day basis
  • Accommodate content updates, as requested by VATEUD or vACC staff

 

VATEUD13 General requirements

  • Excellent support and troubleshooting skills
  • Good communication skills
  • VATSIM account in good standing
  • Previous VATSIM-related staff experience (web development, R&D) might be considered a plus, but is not required

 

VATEUD13 Technical requirements

  • Decent knowledge of Linux (Debian, Ubuntu) server administration: apt, nginx, postgresql, worker queues, ssh, DNS, cron, iptables configuration and troubleshooting
  • Decent knowledge of git workflows; understanding of github/gitlab concepts and flows: cloning, branching, staging, committing, pushing, pulling, submitting pull requests, merging.
  • Basic knowledge of rubygems: Ruby's package management system and rake: ruby's task management tool: installing, updating and removing gems; understanding gem dependencies, running and analyzing the output of rake tasks
  • Basic knowledge of Rails deployment workflows: pulling and merging from git repository; using capistrano, running DB migrations, precompiling [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ets, identifying and tracking exceptions
  • Ability to understand and work with custom and pre-built Content Management Systems, application backends and admin panels and to accommodate in a timely manner the update requests coming from other VATEUD or vACC staff members

 

_________________________________________________________________________________

Fullfilling the additional requirements of EUD7 portfolio, listed below, will be considered strongly preferential:

_________________________________________________________________________________

 

As part of the EUD technical team, you'll receive initial mentoring and familiarization training and thereafter you'll be operating within the guidelines and principles outlined in our shiny new web services and development policy (will be made available to shortlisted applicants), you'll be managing a shiny new set of cloud servers, optimized for developer and sysadmin happiness, and you'll help maintain and further develop a dozen or so Ruby-on-Rails applications including the upcoming new EUD website, the PTD, tasks and API applications, several vACC and event related websites. You'll have the pleasure, but also the very stressful and demanding job of working in one of the most technology-advanced and self-conscious tech departments in VATSIM to date and you'll have to balance a lot of demands on your time and expertise.

 

Still interested? Here's how to apply:

 

Send the following by email to svilen.v[Mod - Happy Thoughts][email protected] with CC to [email protected]:

  • Cover letter (resume), including technical / development experience
  • Development portfolio (if any)
  • link to your public github / bitbucket profile (if any)
  • link to your StackOverflow / StackExchange / Coderwall profile (if any)

 

Shortlisted applicants will have a voice talk over skype or TS with me and George.

 

The deadline for submitting applications is Sun, Sep 22nd

 

Thanks for your interest and good luck! We're looking forward to working with you.
