Doximity | Senior DevOps Engineer, Platform | Full-time REMOTE (US) or in-person (San Francisco, CA)
Doximity helps doctors be more productive, informed, and connected.
We have several positions open, and you can see the full list at https://workat.doximity.com/positions/
I wanted to post about one position in particular- We're looking for another Senior DevOps Engineer on our Platform team. We'd love some more engineers to help us manage, monitor, and debug Kubernetes clusters.
We're looking for someone who has a deep understanding of container technology, and experience operating a Kubernetes cluster in production. Experience with EKS is a bonus.
We'd love someone familiar with Terraform, Ansible and Chef (or similar tooling).
You'll help us build a container-based self-service infrastructure for product engineering teams, and help us work with the rest of devops and infrastructure teams to empower other engineering teams.
We're a remote team, and as such concise and effective written and verbal communication is crucial.
Schedule-wise, we're looking for someone who is able to maintain a minimum of 5 hours overlap with 9:30 to 5:30 PM Pacific time, and who can dedicate about two weeks per year for travel to company events.
I had written a toy social network a few years back the past which had these features - It worked very much like an encrypted version of usenet.
This is probably my bias as an engineer showing, but the technology doesn't seem like the hard part-
I always understood that having an resilient network means people will use it to post some bad things, but I don't know if I really internalized the scope of that until later.
I had originally envisioned it might be useful in oppressive countries, where people needed a way to communicate - Recent events have shown how dangerous that can feel when you're in the midst of people who feel like that describes them.
As another HN post pointed out, there are two natural audiences for such networks - Idealists, and those who can't get away with stuff on other networks.. And the second is going to be far more common. That will influence the culture, and help to drive other "good" people away from the service, amplifying the effect.
Even if you have user-selectable moderators (Which I had, similar to the request the author makes), without a huge war-chest to hire a large team of default moderators, you'll never be able to keep up. The default experience for the average user will be terrible.
Over and over, I ran into issues like that - It's relatively easy to built the technological network, but managing the social network aspect is an unsolved problem.
In large part, I'm sure, I marketed it badly. But I'm also fairly confident that Real Names is one of those features that people wish "everyone else" would use, but aren't thrilled about using themselves.
Interesting feature.. I think this falls under the heading of Keeping Honest people Honest.
Of course it's easy to get around. Log in anonymously, or use a proxy, or any number of other things- The point as I understand it isn't to hold you iron-fisted to the whims you had when you set it up, but more to act as a gentle reminder.
"Hey, it's been 2 hours already. Stop wasting time on news.yc, and get back to work"
There have been some similar program that extend the concept, and read the title of the browser window to let you graph your productive time. I can't find any at the moment, though.. There's certainly a lot that could be done in that area. Maybe someone will apply for a Fall 07 YC to track productivity effectively.
On thinking about it, I was reminded of this link from MyDreamApp (A contest to pitch apps for the Mac)
