Automattic—the innovative force behind WordPress.com, Jetpack, Tumblr, and WooCommerce—is on the lookout for top-tier Systems Engineers to help shape the future of web infrastructure. Our team ensures high availability, peak performance, and rock-solid security for tens of billions of page views and over a billion users monthly, spanning 30 private data centers across six continents.

• Maximizing uptime by implementing proactive strategies, automation, and rapid incident response.

• Enhancing security through real-time monitoring, enforcement, and robust disaster recovery solutions.
• Empowering developers by reducing friction, answering technical questions promptly, and ensuring smooth software deployments.

The Systems Engineer position might be a good fit if you:

• Have maintained large Nginx setups with advanced routing configuration, load balancing, reliable performance and high availability;
• Have run very large MySQL/MariaDB deployments while maintaining an unparalleled level of performance, uptime and data integrity;
• Have experience running and debugging PHP applications at scale;
• Understand the relationship of these services with the lower level systems stacks – filesystems, network, memory management, kernel internals, etc;
• Have deep operational and maintenance experience with very large and complex public facing web hosting systems;
• Can autonomously architect, prototype, and maintain solutions to different problems and hosting requirements;
• Possess extreme attention to detail and strive for unparalleled operational excellence;
• Are open and available for a 2-3 week post-COVID travel per year to meet up with your teammates in person.
