  • Maintain and improve public documentation that helps Semaphore users use the platform.

REQUIREMENTS

  • A deep understanding of the Linux operating system, at both a high- and low-level.
  • Ability to debug and solve configuration, performance and reliability problems quickly; sometimes under pressure if there are issues that are directly affecting product users.

  • Ability to work in high-level languages such as Ruby and Bash.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to work effectively remotely with a team.
