University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Library

The UCLA Library has an opening for a DevOps/DevSupport Engineer to be a part of our Digital Initiatives and Information Technology (DIIT) team. You are a technical professional with advanced knowledge in the field of Linux systems administration and will serve as a technical contact for the Library's software development teams and applications. You will work as part of a team, collaborating with project managers, developers, and engineers, to architect systems, design roadmaps, and create automated workflows taking an application from development to production status. You will take a lead role in helping teams within DIIT adopt a DevOps culture to better standardize and automate infrastructure provisioning and application deployment. You are comfortable operating with minimal supervision and take ownership of projects. You value documenting processes to ensure tasks are reproducible. You are capable of resolving complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires in-depth evaluation of a variety of environmental factors. You respond to stakeholders with tact, using innovative resources to research solutions. You will be one of DIIT's technical contacts with campus Information Technology Services, and you occasionally train fellow DIIT staff on system configuration procedures. System administration and development efforts take place within Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments split among physical servers, VMWare, and Amazon Web Services. Our teams use distributed version control (Git), configuration management tools (Ansible), containers (Docker), and continuous integration/delivery pipelines (Jenkins, Travis) to deploy software releases and ensure stable environments. System and service monitoring utilities (Nagios, StatusCake) and centralized logging platforms provide mechanisms to notify operations and developer teams of server and application health. We will consider full-time remote applicants authorized to work in the United States and who are able to travel to the UCLA campus at least once per academic quarter (~3 months).
