You will be responsible for the smooth running and tuning of our database platform. We have 50 database servers online, each with over 2TB of storage. Performance and high availability is our bread and butter and we continually evolve the schema to improve our database density and functionality.

You will work directly with our backend development team where you will influence the database access code for optimal usage in a data driven environment. You will also directly influence our infrastructure strategy and help pick the storage and hardware that is optimal for the situation. You will be responsible for modeling the database schema for new features and maintaining optimal performance and high availability.

It is important that you can get along well with a diverse set programmers and operations team working on many different platforms. We are a very flat organization where the people you need to work with are ready to speak with you.  We deploy on Mac, Windows, Android and iOS and run backend servers on both Windows and Linux. A strong grasp of the basics of computer science, database theory and database tuning is essential.

Responsibilities

• Keeping the database platform alive and highly available

Are you looking to flex your UI/UX muscles with a small and energetic company?  Be part of our team and you will be a major contributor to the look, feel, and success of our products. We believe in a structured, framework style approach, but with careful attention paid to performance and keeping our applications as light-weight as possible.

We are looking for motivated individuals looking to fill a critical role on a small and fast-paced team.  Send us your resume today and let's get started!

TIM Group is looking for a Linux Systems Administrator/Operations Engineer to join our team in London or Boston MA.

Our infrastructure team collaborates with development to build and support all the tooling to facilitate our in-house web applications (SaaS) during development and production, including CI environments, deployment tools and provisioning systems.

Our team is a mixture of software, tools and system engineers, likewise is our development team. This gives us a unique angle from which to collaborate on a variety of problems.

We are making excellent progress in eliminating snowflake servers from our entire stack.  We strive to make all systems ephemeral using a series of tooling including Puppet, MCollective and a series of homegrown open source components.  This gives us the ability to destroy and re-provision continuously in order to catch regressions and prevent configuration drift.

We're able to advance in this area, partially because we own 100% of the stack including hardware; giving us total control to create our own private cloud and follow our ideal principles - we're not constrained to the likes of EC2 or other providers.  Our traffic is also very low volume, but high value - this gives us significant amounts of flexibility to perfect our environment which high volume sites are unable to compete with.

We are not high frequency, nor significantly low latency thus have less constraints and more approaches available to us.  We aim to push the boundaries of infrastructure architecture, deployment and of continuous integration and delivery.

The ideal candidate would be passionate about refining and perfecting the way web applications are deployed and managed.

They will have mixed sysadmin/development skills to help us advance the state of the art:

Our Business

Our systems help manage billion-dollar portfolios, feed complex quantitative financial models, and fuel the sales and trading desks of the world's largest investment banks. We give our teams the freedom to use the tools and languages that they need to solve the problems inherent in these systems.

Due to our rapid business growth since launching our products in 2005, we have grown our development teams in our London and Boston offices. We offer a fun, challenging, and rewarding working environment and the opportunity to work with world-class talent to help you build a world-class career.

Our Technologies

Our DevOps tooling provides automated deployment and management of a diverse array of Linux-based technologies using KVM virtualization, managed by Puppet and MCollective, with significant in-house tools written in Ruby. The products we deploy are written primarily in Scala and/or Java, backed by an array of leading open-source tools including MySQL, MongoDB, IPVS load balancing, Graphite, LogStash, and RabbitMQ.

Our Process

We use agile development techniques such as test-driven development, pair-programming, and continuous delivery, adapting these to our needs as necessary. We are a self-managed distributed team that collaborate in an open and flexible way. Every team member proposes solutions, and we're all equally willing to lead when appropriate and follow when that's what's needed. Our team has a true DevOps focus, with backgrounds in both systems administration and development, and we highly value the melding of those skillsets.

Do you thrive in a fast-paced, customer-centric environment supporting database systems and applications?  If a start-up type of atmosphere supporting applications in test, development and production is exciting to you, this could be your next great opportunity.
