== Experienced infrastructure engineer, San Francisco ==
FutureAdvisor is an automated investment manager. We help our customers cut their investment fees, avoid excessive risks and save on taxes, so that they and their families will face better choices down the road.
We're seeking an infrastructure engineer. Your job will be to keep FutureAdvisor running smoothly. It might be deploying and maintaining server clusters on EC2, building tools to automate our deployment pipelines or designing and implementing a new piece of the request pipeline. Your job will be to make FutureAdvisor as fast and reliable as possible.
You might be a good fit if you have experience writing production code, but you'd rather be building out the running systems. You're security-conscious and detailed-oriented when it comes to provisioning servers and designing deployment processes. You have a strong desire to automate everything, but you know when introducing automation might be a bad idea. You're comfortable in Bash and Ruby.
As a FutureAdvisor infrastructure engineer you might work on improving our Chef cookbooks to make it easier for others to deploy services. You'll spend time identifying and eliminating likely reasons for FutureAdvisor to go down. You'll also work on building out more tools to manage and track our server cluster using AWS technologies like EC2, S3, OpsWorks, and VPC.
Skills you'll need:
Experience working with AWS
Experience provisioning and maintaining VPC instances on AWS
Knowledge of service oriented infrastructure
Knowledge of working with Linux and Bash scripts
Experience with infrastructure management tools like Chef or Puppet
Bonus Experience launching Ruby on Rails apps

You like imagining how touch targets, palette, patterns, information architecture and microcopy can make UX smooth.
