Summary
We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to support and develop the platform serving the world’s favorite encyclopedia to millions of people around the globe. Wikipedia and its sister projects are powered strictly by Free and Open Source software with MediaWiki at its core surrounded by an ecosystem of microservices in PHP, NodeJS, Python, Go and Java.
The Wikimedia community generates a sizable amount of data, including freely-licensed media. As part of our team you would have the opportunity to solve storage, scaling, access and backup challenges Wikipedias’ scale provides.
We currently use Openstack Swift as our main object-storage system and Cassandra as the dominant NoSQL solution. We are interested in finding new and improved ways of utilizing the capabilities of the existing solutions as well as researching and potentially implementing other similar products.
We are a globally distributed and diverse team of engineers with a drive to explore, experiment and embrace new technologies. If you find what we do interesting, if you are up to the challenge of improving the reliability and delivery of one of the Internet’s top 10 websites, and you enjoy the idea of working in a remote-first role, we may just be the right place for you.
