* You’ll be working in a casual and fun environment with a team of equally sharp-minded geeks. Like them, you know how to Get Things Done. Most of all you’re a passionate and pragmatic problem-solver. You’ll do the right thing by our customers, and give them the solutions they need.
* Anchor is a supportive work environment that encourages learning. You can expect to learn a lot here, and at the same time you’ll give back to others.

* Proactively handling problems before our customers even know about them
* Learning how to be a good sysadmin

* Good time management and task prioritisation skills
* A methodical and principled approach to troubleshooting and problem diagnosis
* The ability to communicate effectively with customers and colleagues
* A strong self-motivation to learn new skills and technologies
* Strong proficiency in a couple of programming languages, exposure to more languages is great
* A strong desire to see constant improvement in yourself and the tools and processes you use
* Some hands-on experience working on Linux systems

We love working with these technologies every day...

Familiarity is a definite advantage, but you’ll learn them as you go.

* GNU/Linux: Debian, CentOS, RHEL
* Web servers: nginx, Apache
* Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Memcached
* Additional experience is well regarded. Bonus points for:
* Networking and routing
* Monitoring systems (we use Nagios)
* Automation tools such as Puppet

Why Anchor should be your home away from home...

* Our kick-ass office is right next door to Town Hall station, and many bus stops are within 1-2 blocks
* Workstations with huge screens and your favourite peripherals, your choice of a desktop or laptop
* Well-stocked drinks fridge
* Company lunch every Friday, visiting one of the many of the nearby eateries

Senior perl focused devops at MOB Labs

We're hunting for a senior person to join our devops team. MOB is an R&D lab based in Sydney, but our team is distributed all over the world and we all collaborate together using irc, skype and other online tools as required. You'll need to be independently motivated and focus on communicating clearly and helping make sure we all deliver as a team. If you can deliver, then you'll have all the freedom you need and the support of a smart, tight-knit team of experts.

We want someone with strong experience managing networks of Ubuntu based servers running web applications built with OO based perl. Our applications are all built upon a smart multi-device aware services framework and our front end applications are built using javascript, objective-c (iOS) and java (Android).

Your focus will be to make sure these services are efficient, scalable and easy to extend. If you want to add lots of new code and promote your favourite framework then this is not the place for you. If you love elegance and you love to take an existing powerful platform and make it sing then we want to talk to you.

On top of this we hope you're someone who loves automated deployment systems like capistrano and puppet so you can make your job easier over time, not more complex.

We also offer some of the most challenging development projects available, with a focus on R&D in the areas of Computer Vision, Augmented Reality (https://buildAR.com) and the Augmented Web (http://www.w3.org/community/ar/demos-and-projects/). But be prepared to have your brain stretched and your crazy ideas listened to.

Once you've worked with our team you'll have head hunters from all over the world chasing you.
But be warned...you'll also probably never be able to work in a traditional job ever again!

NOTE: This job opening will stay open until we find the right person and we're very picky so this takes as long as it takes.

If you think you can add value to our team then contact us at jobs <at> mob-labs <dot> com.
