Some of you may remember me from back when I wasn't too busy to engage
in our perennial flamewars. I now work at Facebook and it is definitely
the coolest job I've ever had. We have almost all the same perks as
Google, but we're smaller and more agile. See
http://facebook.com/careers for more information.
One of the recruiters asked me recently where they can find more people
with a background like mine (a mix of *nix sysadmin and computer science
skills), and I said "well I know a bunch of people in Utah who are like
me." So she asked me to pass along this job posting. Unfortunately we
don't have an office in Utah, but if you're even slightly open to
relocation read on:
"Facebook is seeking talented operations engineers to join the Site
Reliability Engineering team. The ideal candidate will have strong
communication skills, a passion for tinkering with Linux, and an almost
insane fondness for fast-paced, seat-of-your-pants troubleshooting and
crisis management. The position is full-time and is based in our main
office in Palo Alto. This position reports to the lead of Site
Reliability Engineering.
