You're right, it probably does seem a bit spammy.  Not my intent, sorry
about that.

Here's a bit of meat:
 - We're looking to hire in all technical positions - development, dev/ops,
operations, test automation, etc.
 - We're looking to hire at all levels, from entry-level to very senior.
 - We are based on CentOS across the board.  "Across the board" means 20 or
30 Xen VMs in our dev cluster, around 100 Xen VMs in our production
clusters in Chicago and Dallas, and a fair number of AMIs in Amazon as we
scale our environment out into AWS.
 - We use a number of tools in our infrastructure.  We manage most of our
environment using Salt Stack and are one of the top external contributors
to Salt Stack.  Other tools in our stack include Splunk, Boundary,
NewRelic, OpenNMS, and Jenkins.
 - Product code is primarily written in Java; test automation and dev/ops
will be working with a lot of Python.

The main required skills I look for in someone is whether they are smart,
love technology, and deliver.  I've interviewed enough "senior" engineers
with 10-20 years of C that can't reverse a string that I have learned not
to care about that.

What else can I tell you?  Happy to reply on-list, in private, or you can
come find me at OpenWest this weekend.
