Kongregate.com, a web games startup, is looking for a Lead Unix Sys Admin who can manage a high traffic site. We run Ruby on Rails with MySQL, Mongrel, Nginx, and Wildfire XMPP server. We're currently on Gentoo Linux but are about to build our own cluster, and are open to Solaris or BSD as well. We've seen rapid growth since our launch in March, and need to support millions of monthly unique users and tens of thousands of simultaneous chat connections.
In addition to building and maintaining our cluster, you will be in charge of regular load testing of new releases of our app.
This position will be full-time as we build out the cluster, falling back to half-time later on. However, if you prefer full-time employment we can find a way to make that work.
We have offices in San Francisco and Portland but will hire anywhere worldwide for this position.
Our site lets users upload Flash and Shockwave games - we wrap them in chat, profiles, points, ratings, and a central metagame. We share ad & microtransaction revenue with developers - who retain rights to their games.
We are an energetic startup founded by a veteran of the web games industry. We practice iterative, test-driven development on a one-week cycle. We work sustainable hours, and offer competitive salary and equity.
