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