Overleaf (www.overleaf.com) | REMOTE | Ops Engineer & Growth Hacker
At overleaf we help academics collaborate more effectively and make LaTeX easier to work with. We recently acquired ShareLaTeX.com and are merging the two platforms into Overleaf v2.
1. Ops Engineer: We want to migrate our infrastructure to Google Cloud/AWS/Docker from our current setup based around Chef-server running on Linode. The technologies we currently use and will still need to support before any migration include Ubuntu, Redis, MongoDB, Haproxy, Nginx, Node.js, Jenkins and Docker. The Ops job will involve responsibilities like:
- Modifying our Node.js services to work with different architectures as they evolve
- Improving auto-scaling for our LaTeX compiling backend
- Management & maintenance of our infrastructure
- Improving our CI and deployment process
- Testing and improving our backup & backup verification process, and emergency procedures
- Keeping our emergency monitoring services tested and up to date
- Improving and automating the Docker build process of our open source and onsite package
- Being on call to deal with out of hours emergencies
