Level 3 has a fairly sizeable content distribution network (CDN) – people who generate a lot of internet content. Microsoft, Apple, video providers. We have servers numbered in the tens of thousands. To support this, we can’t rely on our Ops teams and expect them to jump on each box individually. We rely heavily on automation – we do builds, repairs, and various tasks through our automation platform. This position focuses on the automation platform.The core of the application is written in Ruby. We are looking for someone with strong Ruby skills as well as experience with the Ruby on Rails framework to help build the front-end. This role aims to provide a simpler way of interacting with the system, leveraging the Rails framework.Additionally, a combination of networking and system administration experience is desirable. Networking knowledge is crucial, especially when deploying applications globally. Understanding how to develop applications that work in a WAN environment and how running jobs across diverse environments affects design is important.Our CDN is built on generic white box servers.
