Deploy Engineer

Description

We're looking for a Deploy Engineer to join our team. We're a young and growing company building software for the visual effects, feature animation, and video game industries.

We have one main product called Shotgun. It is a flexible web-based "production tracking and collaboration" application. It is designed for everyone working in the studio across many roles and needs. It has a customizable database, a flexible web interface, and an open API. We provide defaults and tools, and our clients can build and evolve their own applications on top of this framework. We are actively developing additional products we’ll be announcing soon.

Shotgun is a web-based Software as a Service (SaaS). We host roughly 350 client sites in the cloud and have approximately 40 clients with Shotgun installed in their local infrastructure. You will be responsible to maintain and upgrade these sites, this includes major releases (every 8 weeks), weekly patch releases for all hosted clients, on demand upgrades for locally installed clients, and emergency hot patches as needed. We have some automation tools in place but we are looking for someone who can extend these tools and significantly improve this library. You will also be responsible for supporting our locally installed application at the operating system level. There is plenty of room for growth in this position.

*Good understanding of overall security methodology as it pertains to the job responsibilities

About Us

This is a cool place to work. Most of us are foodies, we love good wine, and we're becoming obsessed with coffee. We have a strict no-asshole rule, and are trying to build a dream team of people who inspire us every day.

We'll pay you what you are worth, give you lots of flexibility and challenges, and although we're all passionate and work hard, we insist that you have a healthy work/life balance.
