Job Posting: Looking for CF Administration and server specialist
Hey folks, we continue to grow and expand here at CFWT. Our Ops department is looking for a CF jack of all trades who isn't afraid of AWS or servers. Details below - see if you qualify!
Seeking a ColdFusion Systems Administrator for CF Webtools. We are in Omaha, NE and are accepting both local and remote positions.
- Yes, you may work from home, so pants are optional unless you are video conferencing.
- Looking for folks legal to work in the US only. (sorry! We still love you world!)
- Yes, the position is W2 with full benefits. PTO, healthcare, IRA, dental, vision, disability, life, and a positive, encouraging environment.
- Our operations group consists of 4 team members so far.
- They spend their days fixing, migrating, managing and upgrading servers.
- AWS is involved in about 80% of what we do.
- You will need to be able to find memes that appropriately obscure as inside jokes among your team members.
- They are on call 24×7. We rotate out weekends and make sure you have enough "you and family time". But after-hours calls are very minimal. However, you will be responsible for some scheduled "late nighters" for upgrades and migrations. We try and keep your overall hours to about 40 hours a week average still.
- Plenty to do. Lots of scrambling. Lots of appreciative customers and developers who will see you as a savior if you can fix their problem.
We are looking for someone experienced in ColdFusion. Perhaps you are a CF developer looking to change it up or you are already experienced in JVM tuning, lockdowns and such. This job will involve managing servers (this is not a help desk job) – provisioning, migrating code, upgrading the OS and more. On the ColdFusion side you'll be handling complex troubleshooting, upgrades, updates, installations and more. But don't get too hung up on only ColdFusion. We also touch other technologies such as WordPress, Python, PowerShell, MS SQL, My SQL, NoSQL and more. Below are some of the technologies we use and you will need to work with. To qualify, you should know more than a few of these:
- Linux – For this job you probably need more than just a passing knowledge of Linux. You should be fluent in Linux administration. If you've set up some distros, used YUM or other package managers, know how to find stuff on a Linux box etc. you are probably qualified. But the more the better!
- Windows Server – We have a high percentage of Windows servers. Operations manages backups, patching, migrating, upgrading etc.
- AWS – about 70% of our managed stack is AWS. If you apply for this job you will be expected to eventually test for an associate certification. Training (online Udemy) and testing are paid for, but you must put in the work to get there. Just like college, except more fun!
- Java/Tomcat – Our primary stacks invariably include Tomcat/JVM. If words like garbage collection, heap, context, web connectors etc. seem familiar you are on the right track.
- Networking – you should know your way around a network stack, be familiar with firewall rules, IP addressing, NAT etc.
- Troubleshooting – you should understand how to troubleshoot issues that arise from CPU, memory or disk constraints and performance.
- DNS – you should understand DNS zones and record types, how they work, and how to modify them.
- Web Servers – You should understand how to set up a website in one or both Apache and IIS.
- Email Servers – We manage several email servers or email relays.
- Jenkins – More of a "nice to have". We deploy code through Jenkins from SVN or Git. Ops manages deployments.
- Nagios (network monitoring) – Also a "nice to have". We use Nagios to manage an array of uptime alerts from external and internal customers.
About CF Webtools
We are not a staff augmentation company trying to find someone to fling out to a spot in hopes they stick. While you work with customers, we care about developers and work culture. We intend to know you and support you. We strive to create a workplace you enjoy. We are looking for IT specialists that match our culture of Can-do, Caring, Communication and Competency. Here's some items that you need in order to fit in here.
- Yes, you will be exposed to ______ (windows/mac) even if you are religiously devoted to ________ (windows/mac). We don't make the rules.
- You should be able to work with SVN or GIT and sometimes other source control products.
- You should maintain positive attitude – We interact with respect and gentle humor. Snark is minimized and encouragement is the order of the day. If you are quirky and self-deprecating that will be a plus and you will love it here.
- You should maintain and enhance your skills set – you will be given the opportunity to work on lots of code, different versions, platforms, integrations, libraries and SDLC organization and procedure. Every one of these is a growth opportunity. If that has you licking your chops climb aboard.
- We like balance – Our staff have a full life. They ride horses, snowshoe, skydive, sword fight, play instruments, love dogs, golf, learn languages, rear children, go to plays, like to bake, fish, hunting, equestrian sports, skydiving, guitar playing, dog training, macramé, Golf, racquetball, Mandarin, politics (careful!), family outings, school plays, choirs, baking, snowshoeing, ice fishing, hunting, aquaponics, mudding, and the list goes on. We love it all! We think those things make you a better team member and it makes us want to be around you.
Looking for a ColdFusion plus ReactJS Unicorn - Horn Optional
We provide W2 employment with benefits for remote workers (i.e. you can work in your PJs but don't make a habit of it). We collect experts like fine wine and provide them a happy home inside our hive mind. ColdFusion is our core tech so you need high aptitude in that language and platform (and we will test you to make sure), but you'll need a bit more than that. Here's the main thing we are looking for right now.
- ReactJS = - This long term project requires in the weeds with ReactJS. You will need more than just a walk through the tutorial. If you are a strong JS dev and have some ReactJS in the wild you probably qualify.
- Framework Experience (Especially FW/1).
- Lucee - You don't have to be a Luccee expert but it helps if you've deployed code to Lucee and know some of it's quirks.
- High DB Skills - MSSQL or MySQL. To us this means complex queries and views plus indexing, design, optimization etc.
- SCRUM, Git, Agile and Jira - These are the primary SDLC tools for this team.
- MAC User (for development) - If you also know Vagrant that's a plus.
Hmmm.... what else?
I'm glad you asked. CF Webtools has four core values.
- Can-Do Attitude - We are problem solvers and extra-milers. If you dig making clients sing your praises for a job well done we are already in love with you.
- Caring community - Family, faith, friendship, connection, caring - you get the idea. We love people people.
- Competence - We are building a world class pool of tech talent.
- Communication - We are very chatty over-sharers.
And here's a list of things that really help in our environment.
- You should be able to setup multiple local environments, or at least not be scratching your head at that phrase. Mac and windows may be required (although this is a mac heavy dev environment). Advanced developers do advanced things like (for example) set up an Apache or IIS web site and connect ColdFusion to it. We see this as indicative of your problem solving ability as well.
- You should be able to work with SVN or GIT . Yes we like Git too, but hey we have a lot of customers and a lot of environments.
- Maintain positive attitude - We are overall encouragers to the point of cloying earnestness. If you like being encouraged and blessing others you will love it. If you really need something to gripe about and you think pantsing people is funny then we are probably not for you.
- Maintain and enhance your skills set - We have 100 customers and 40 developers. You will be exposed to a lot of tech and (if you take advantage) learn something every day.
- Balance - We like devs who have a full life. If you enjoy fencing, equestrian sports, skydiving, guitar playing, dog training, macrame, golf, racquetball, Mandarin, politics (careful!), family outings, child rearing, school plays, choirs, baking (all activities enjoyed by folks on our team) then we think those things make you a better developer! We aren't looking for 80 hour a week developers slavishly devoted to coding. We are looking for eclectic, interesting people who enjoy coding and want to do it for a living.
