About the job

System Administrators at Discourse are computing system generalists. This role will see you debugging across all layers of our tech stack, with a particular focus on the foundational network, storage, and systems management layers that support production Discourse deployments. Our System Administrators are responsible for ongoing capacity planning, platform reliability and security improvements, and compliance. Advances are often achieved through the design and implementation of new software tools and services.

Ā 

Your responsibilities will include:

Ā 

  • Applying fundamental computing theory to solve problems in sustainable space and time.
  • When reasoning about infrastructure improvements, you draw upon these combined skills to choose or build the right tool for the job.
  • Engaging vendors and datacenter personnel to purchase, deploy, and manage hardware.

Ā 

Weā€™re looking for someone who:

Ā 

  • Has a well-rounded understanding of how applications interface with the operating system, how the operating system interfaces with the network.
  • Can read C, and feel at home in Unix-like systems.
  • Has fluency in at least one high-level programming language. We have a large amount of infrastructure tooling, primarily in Ruby and Go.
  • Has experience with at least some of the tools we use: Docker, Puppet, Terraform, Prometheus, ELK.

At Discourse, the ability to communicate well in writing is paramount. We use our own software, Discourse, for most communication and most of your interaction with customers and team members will be in writing.

Ā 

In order to live these values, we look for folks who are:

Ā  Ā 

  • Detail-oriented, proactive, and organized
  • Able to make decisions quickly and communicate effectively
  • Work well independently and remotely
  • Kind to their co-workers
  • Highly driven with an execution focus and a strong belief in our mission to make the internet a better place

About The Company
Discourse Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform

Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform built for the next decade of the Internet. Use it as a mailing list, discussion forum, long-form chat room, and more!

Discourse is a from-scratch reboot, an attempt to reimagine what a modern Internet discussion forum should beĀ today, in a world of ubiquitous smartphones, tablets, Facebook, and Twitter.

Weā€™re civilized.

Our trust system means that the community builds a natural immune system to defend itself from trolls, bad actors, and spammers ā€” and the most engaged forum members can assist in the governance of their community. We put a trash can on every street corner with a simple, low-friction flagging system. Positive behaviors are encouraged through likes and badges. We gently, constantly educate members in a just-in-time manner onĀ the universal rules of civilized discourse.

Uncompromisingly open source.

There is only one version of Discourse ā€“Ā the awesome open source version. Thereā€™s no super secret special paid commercial version with better or more complete features. Because Discourse is 100% open source forum software, now and forever, it belongs to you as much as it belongs to us. Thatā€™s how community works.
