TL;DR: We're switching a 74-server network from Puppet to NixOS/nixops and then expanding it. Apply at http://jobs.zalora.com/apply/lOd9Ir/Global-DevOps-Engineer-Remote.html?source=nix-dev
After working with Puppet and discovering its shortcomings, we've decided to switch our network over to NixOS/nixops. It's currently hosted as a mix of Rackspace servers, Rackspace cloud, and AWS. We've been hiring up Haskell developers (myself included) and applying purely functional principles everywhere we can. Nix/NixOS was a breath of fresh air when we discovered it. I have DevOps experience with an Alexa top-150 site, but not much experience with Nix, and we need to hit the ground running. We have management's backing to do whatever is necessary to clean up the existing system which is a bit of a mess (3 networks, each managed separately with separate puppet instances, each slightly different from the others). I envision the company becoming a major contributor to nixpkgs and extending the system (we are dedicated to pushing changes back upstream). I'm not familiar with the Nix community, but this might be the largest customer-facing web application (in terms of number of users, if not network size) that will be managed by Nix running NixOS. In order to attract the best engineers, we're willing to hire remotely. I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
