Sr. Operations Engineer
May 10th, 2010
We are looking for Sr. Operations Engineers. It is common for Sr. Operations Engineers to be subject to crazy hours and constantly worry about “uptime” but it is our goal to have the kind of company where we do things well enough that we can minimize that to a manageable level. From our point of view, the less Heroics that people have to pull, the better. That is our goal. I know it is not too fancy, but just a straight-shooter kind of simplicity. Just like a good Sr. Ops engineer.
