My job is chill as poo poo but doesn't hold a candle to what he describes for a porn webmaster job. I too wish I had picked up better web programming.

H110Hawk posted:This is why I don't work in HR, I couldn't put up with that sort of crap. I imagine much of it has to do with being a LA tech company. DreamHost was the same way when I worked there. the irony is that what you put sums up exactly what a lot of people like to see with job postings: some loving honesty and character, not just "we want people with masters degrees because we're using windows 7 and ipads off of a government grant!" or worded as boilerplate "seeking professional with 10 years in cobol, c++" when they want python. etc. Roughly, a lot of HR and management has no loving idea about IT. If this job were in Chicago, I'd have applied.

Who we are: Alpha Stone Capital, a Singapore based Capital Management Fund that trades Crypto. Where we are: Remote and/or Singapore. --- Job title: Devops Engineer What we want: We have an AWS environment involved with Linux containers in Kubernetes and also run Grafana plot stuff, we need someone to help us out with a variety of automation tasks and assist with charting visuals. This is somewhat quasi-sysadmin with some coding experience being a major help. Most code is in Python today, but if you're good with Javascript or Rust would also be a major plus as well as making queries in Grafana obviously (or another platform that you find suitable). You are not going to be responsible for money (so no legal scares here), but you'd be working on systems that will be managing money for clients, basically. This means, we might be making queries using API's and websockets, or we might be manipulating accounts via a FIX API. It's also crypto, so if you know solidity then this can be a major bump and then the salary changes drastically as well. Keep in mind it's in some sort of quasi startup status right now, so things rapidly change at will. Meaning: "this software is not good, I'd like to use this instead and here's why" is totally cool with me. Our group is naturally small, there's 2 Junior Quants who work on Python trading algorithms all day, me, a lead engineering manager (who you'd be working directly for, dude's under me and also chill), a retired FX trader who handles billions regularly, an influencer who is very hands off in the process but supportive, and another Quant on contract in Bulgaria. So this means, hours are very all over the place, but they aren't usually 8hours/day either. This is going to be a 2nd shift from a US perspective or 1st shift for asia, mostly. Why you'd want to work here: We're fun as hell, it's exciting to do this stuff and you'll always be learning. Like, more than just IT stuff. You will have plenty of things to play with, and there's not going to be a rigid "YOU MUST DO THIS" scope. Want to learn some solidity but don't know it? K, let's go, we have some folks. Want to see how the trading stuff goes and help with algorithms? Okay sure. Want to look over people's code and point out where they hosed up? Okay, sure! Need to take time off for whatever? done. I pretty much run the show and give people plenty of room to do what they want. In fact, this is great for someone fiercely independent who is cool with checking in when they need guidance but kinda doing their own thing. Why you wouldn't want to work here: Sometimes, poo poo is all over the place. Every meeting starts focused and then it will always drift into other topics because we're very heavy into research. There's some corporate bs that I personally get stuck with constantly due to regulations in general. Salary: Salary itself is likely to be competitive but not crazy aggressive, but you'll be on the team with us that gets $$ kickbacks from trading which will change basically everything once we get going in the next month or two. I mean expectations are a fairly experienced devops person who is going to be asking for 6 figures by definition.

I'm actually not very pro crypto, it just happens to be where I am making money. I'm far more a technology enthusiast. That's a rant for another thread, so I digress and apologize to the thread while acknowledging my fuckup. I'm still looking someone who wants to help with some regular work - the job need is truly not even crypto focused, that's more incidental. It's a pragmatic linux/aws sysadmin/automation expert that could involve py/tsc/js at times, the position is still open if someone has interest. vvv: pretty much this. I'd rather hire a goon who does technology over a random I find elsewhere. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Mar 29, 2022 |

Walked posted:really surprised wtf? Hasn't everyone seen the episode of csi where addresses go to 355? This is like the basics of OSI! Around here I don't even get a glance for Network jobs or monitoring/observability jobs despite having deployed & configured sd wan devices and spun up entire bank branches for years, so maybe it's my resume. Guess I'll pitch in, as times change. Actual stuff: My experience: a decade with solarwinds and Cisco equipment, primarily. As mentioned above, things revolving around monitoring &, network engineer are both usually my scope. Didn't deal with ACI/spine & leaf much but spent a lot of time with 3650s and nexus gear, 2911's, 4431s and forescout nac appliances. What I'm looking for: I'm comfortable with anything from cybersecurity to junior SRE to monitoring/network engineer. I'm happy to reskill to fit, as I've been trying to move forward with python & rust but not there yet. Hours flexible, even 2nd shift. I did a lot of monitoring ties to NOC's & training em before. What I'm NOT looking for: something that is full time in the office. Hybrid is manageable. Where I live: Crystal Lake, IL (about 1.5hrs from downtown Chicago but that commute is fine for me) When I can start: 1 month from offer Requirements: Competitive salary, prefer remote but hybrid near Chicago or NW suburbs can be managed Can be reached: PM. Can provide resume / LinkedIn profile. Probably my resume sucks or LinkedIn or both. Disclaimer because I've been a stupid newbie before: I acknowledge I made stupid decisions in the past and was involved with Crypto and regret it. I want nothing to do with it at this point and I'm happily not dealing with it any further.

I found a job in the last couple months! !  . Turns out, they're looking for other people. I can effectively forward info right to the hiring folks to get this going. Where: Remote, usually everything is a citrix VDI on a company-provided laptop or a client-provided if they require. Schedule: Contract work, mostly work based on demand at your own schedule. Pay: Often very competitive and well above what an MSP would pay, but I don't have an exact rate for Datadog as that's not my specialty. . Keep in mind it's contracts so you're not going to get great benefits outside of "a 401k is available". What: Datadog work, probably ranging from health checks to architectural services. The observability team contracts specialists for different software and this is one they have a distinct gap in the skillset. PM for questions One thing to keep in mind is that even if you start today, you're probably not going to be able to do any work (and thus get paid) for at least a month. edit: talking to some people, tbd on if this fills from said talks or not. Sorry folks it sounds like they only wanted (1) person so far! So this is currently for the people I've been in PM's with - hopefully I can get a goon in the door. Hopefully more down the road. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Apr 5, 2024 |

Neither. It's a large corporation, one of those weird kinds that I swear is probably 80% contractors. I can toss name in PM's. They subcontractor out to clients for things like health checks. For example I got contracted 160 hours of work @ my rate between two clients.
