Do you enjoy combining your systems administration, software engineering, and networking experience and expertise to build highly available, reliable, secure, and performant services? Are you passionate about the DevOps culture? Would you like the opportunity to work at scale, managing web services and their underlying infrastructure, across thousands of globally distributed servers?
OpenX, a leading provider of digital and mobile advertising technology, is looking for a talented Senior Release Engineer to join our Release Engineering team, responsible for the operability and support of the OpenX software development life cycle. Your contributions will have a significant impact on both the team and the organization.
In this position, you will streamline our internal build and release processes, maintaining and improving existing infrastructure, and creating visibility and metrics around the mapping between internal release engineering processes and business goals.
