Technology at Avaaz is scaling fast, and we need a DevOps Engineer whose skills connect the worlds of Software Engineers, DBAs, and Systems Administrators. This role will support maintaining and expanding Avaaz’s infrastructure to improve the way our software is developed.

The ideal candidates will have experience in system administration, developing software using modern languages and frameworks and as well a good understanding of SQL and non-SQL data stores. They will be able to advise on decisions regarding hardware performance for a given software, and will also know when we should modify the underlying infrastructure or fix a particular piece of code. They are familiar with test automation and applications that work at scale.

The DevOps Engineer does not need to be an expert in all areas, but rather have a broad range of experiences in different areas with excellent team and communication skills.

Location

Avaaz is a virtual organisation, with most of our work done over email, telephone and Skype. Our staff are based in cities all over the world and meet at team retreats twice per year.

Compensation and Benefits

Salary varies with location and experience, but is highly competitive with leading nongovernmental organisations. Benefits also range with location, but include 5 weeks paid vacation per year.
