_Systems/Networking Guru for Mobile Security Startup_

Come join Flexilis! We're a venture-funded startup solving big problems on small devices.

We believe that people should be able to use their mobile phones without having to worry about hackers, viruses, or other hazards of modern life. We're building a product that keeps your mobile phone (and millions of others) safe from all sorts of nasty things: a product people want because it actually makes their lives easier.

We are looking for smart, dedicated people who have a passion for building great software and solving tough problems. Our product touches so many diverse technologies and engineering fields that you will always have a fun challenge to work on and will likely learn something new every day.

Why Flexilis?

We build things people want. We do cool research. We protect people. We have fun.

We love creating useful, usable, and technologically game-changing software. If we do things right, your work will be instrumental in helping people all over the world be safe.

Besides building something meaningful, here's why you'll love working here:

- We're a start-up: it's fun, dynamic, and you will make a difference.

- We've got smart people without bureaucracy or politics.

- We work in a loft (no cubes here!) in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles: a short subway ride or drive away from most of the city and walking distance from music, art galleries, restaurants, apartments, and night life.

- We're funded by top-tier venture and angel investors who have helped build companies such as Sun Microsystems, PayPal, Juniper Networks, Good Technology, and Symantec.

- We offer generous salaries, benefits, and stock options.

- You'll have the important, little perks such as a fast computer with two big monitors, a laptop, a smartphone, and free food and drinks.

What you'll be doing:

We're looking for a passionate systems/network engineer to keep our backend infrastructure healthy. You will be deploying, securing, optimizing, monitoring, and troubleshooting multiple clusters in a production environment supporting lots of users. You will be working with really robust/fast/pretty Sun boxes and open source software like Linux, Apache, Mongrel, MySQL, memcached, and friends.

Key Responsibilities:

- Administrate and monitor production web, database, and storage systems

- Deploy new servers and software releases

- Help scale our application

- Keep our systems secure by deploying ultra-paranoid security measures and continually performing security audits

JOB REQUIREMENTS

Requirements:

- Guru-level expertise with Linux and Unix systems

- Strong understanding of how to secure servers and make sure they stay that way

- Strong experience working with databases (MySQL preferred)

Bonus Points:

- Experience scaling multi-tier web applications (Ruby on Rails experience a definite plus)
