http://www.codeweavers.net/ Codeweavers is rapidly expanding company based in Stoke-on-Trent, =A0 England. =A0We develop cutting-edge web applications, primarily for the =A0 finance and automotive retail sectors. =A0We are migrating development =A0 to Ruby on Rails on an open source platform, and are in need of someone on-site to support the =A0development infrastructure of our data-driven sites. The job can be broken down into three main areas (with the main =A0 technologies we use highlighted): =2D System administration (FreeBSD) =2D Data management (PostgreSQL, Ruby) =2D Development of support tools (Ruby) System Administration =2D-------------------- We will be running our development and live servers for Rails apps =A0 exclusively on FreeBSD. =A0The ability to install, maintain, patch and =A0 upgrade these is critical to us. =A0We have implemented redundancy =A0 where possible, and are meticulous about security on the servers. =A0We =A0 are looking for someone to maintain these high standards. Data management =2D-------------- Our applications all rely on large amounts of external data that must =A0 be processed and managed. =A0Also, we generate data feeds for numerous =A0 clients and new ones are requested frequently. =A0A good understanding =A0 of SQL and relational databases will be essential in the long run. =A0=20 You will also have to administer our PostgreSQL servers. Development of support tools =2D--------------------------- There will be a strong programming aspect to the role. =A0We try to =A0 allow our developers to focus on the applications they are producing, =A0 and to do this we need someone to maintain and develop the tools we =A0 use. =A0The main aim of this is to facilitate: =A0 =A0- continuous integration =A0 =A0- test driven development =A0 =A0- automatic deployment =A0 =A0- a fully source-controlled process An understanding of object-oriented programming (ideally in Ruby) is =A0 essential. The job will be highly varied and call on a wide range of skills. =A0We =A0 are looking for applicants with knowledge of as much of the above as =A0 possible. =A0However, the job will be mentored, so if you are =A0 particularly strong in one area you will have the opportunity to pick =A0 up the rest. =A0The ability to learn quickly is very important. In summary, the skills we require, roughly in order or importance, are: =A0 - FreeBSD administration =A0 - Ruby programming - Managing data in relational databases =A0 - PostgreSQL administration =A0 - Apache administration Please send applications to roland.schaack@codeweavers.net and copy me in.
