<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>eQualitie is seeking an experienced networking software engineer
for DevOps and infrastructure automation duties. We’re looking for
someone who knows how to build and manage cloud services with an
emphasis on FOSS solutions that we run <a
href="https://github.com/equalitie/"><u>in-house</u></a>. Our
new colleague shares the company’s <a
href="https://equalit.ie/values/"><u>values</u></a> and is ready
to play an important role in protecting freedom of expression and
association on the Internet. In turn, you will get exposure to and
a say in the design of current and future <a
href="https://deflect.ca/solutions/"><u>defensive </u></a><u><a
href="https://deflect.ca/solutions/">web</a> technologies</u>
and <a href="https://github.com/censorship-no"><u>decentralized
solutions</u></a> for avoiding Internet censorship, as well as
personal satisfaction that your contributions create real change
for people around the world.</p>
<p><strong>Job Description</strong></p>
<p>You will work across tight-knit project teams and interface
between software developers and systems operations. Your primary
responsibilities will include building and tuning tools to improve
network availability, service performance and censorship
resilience. You will introduce common systems and processes for a
variety of in-house technologies, spanning DDoS mitigation, a
clearinghouse for anomalous network behaviour and a decentralized
peer-to-peer web caching network. You will take an “automate
everything” approach, introducing and improving automation,
orchestration and monitoring tooling across the board.</p>
<p><strong>About you</strong></p>
<p>You love dashboards and hate network latency. You understand the
building blocks of the Internet and are familiar with its core
protocols, including decentralized networking. You value
infrastructure-as-code systems and believe in prototyping,
fine-tuning software configurations and performance monitoring as
the primary ways to improve an Internet- reliant product or
service. You have a depth of knowledge, experience and a passion
for Internet technologies that allow you to learn new systems
relatively quickly. Also, you will have:</p>
<ul>
<li>Excellent Linux administration skills, performance- tuning and
server hardening;</li>
<li>Demonstrable experience deploying and managing technology
using Ansible, Docker and/or Kubernetes;</li>
<li>Experience with data engineering, analysis, visualization of
web traffic and network statistics (e.g. Kibana, Grafana,
Icinga, Prometheus, etc);</li>
<li>Experience in network programming (HTTP, TCP/IP, UDP) with
knowledge of peer-to-peer (BitTorrent) technologies a strong
asset;</li>
<li>Familiarity with coding in Python (with Go and/or C++
experience a strong asset);</li>
<li>An active appreciation for reading and writing documentation!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Now, a little bit about us…</strong></p>
