Forwarded job posting from my brother. Enjoy! Von Fugal -- Government is a disease that masquerades as its own cure -- Robert Lefevre
--- Begin Message ---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.

Responsibilities *Monitor the stability and performance of the website *Remotely troubleshoot and diagnose hardware problems *Debug issues with Linux software, applications and network *Resolve technical challenges encountered in LAMP technologies *Develop and maintain monitoring tools and automation systems *Predict and respond to utilization variances across multiple datacenters *Identify and triage all outage related events *Facilitate communication, coordinate escalation, and work with subject matter experts to implement critical fixes *Automate and streamline processes Requirements *5 years+ Linux support/sys admin experience in an Internet operations environment *BA/BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience *Working knowledge of Linux, TCP/IP, Apache and mySQL *Experience working with network management systems and monitoring tools, such as Nagios, Ganglia and Cacti *Competency in Shell, PHP, Perl or Python.
