Looking for a strong DevOps/SRE engineer to join the core team. Task #1 is to get a handle on Ceph: we are launching a new direction (self-hosted cloud/hosting), and this is the only area where we have zero expertise ourselves. But it's not "come only for Ceph": for the first period, the main front of work will be Linux administration and networks on servers in different locations, monitoring, and so on — Ceph will be integrated as the direction matures.

Looking for someone for the long haul — all our employees have been working with us for years; we have been creating a living, working product since 2017.

By the way: we ourselves come from the provider industry in Russia, so we perfectly understand this background — when one person in the office was cutting VLANs, fixing billing, pulling cables, and managing the network simultaneously, simply because there was no one else. If this sounds like you, there's a high probability we'll get along.

What's important: • real production experience with Ceph (or Rook/Ceph) — not "deployed in a lab", but actually lived with it in production; • confident Linux and networking at an advanced level: iptables, routing rules, debugging network problems manually, not just through ready-made tools; • willingness to delve into someone else's stack — to understand our infrastructure specifics, not just apply typical practices; • independence and ownership: if something breaks, you don't wait for a ticket "where to run", but figure it out and fix it; • relocation already behind you, working outside of Russia/Belarus.

From us: • small team, high autonomy, direct impact on infrastructure; • absence of rituals and regular calls; • fully remote; • payment — open to discussion.

I'm looking for one person for the long term, not a stream — so first and foremost, I ask for an intro. If this is you — write me a couple of lines in private messages: what was the most unpleasant incident with Ceph (or its absence) that you had to resolve.
