Junior Site Reliability Engineer/DevOps Engineer
Freelancer.com, Philippines
Job Description
Freelancer.com is the world's largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace in the world, with over 60 million freelancers across the globe. Our marketplace hosts a real life economy, where work is undertaken in every area you can think of. From design, writing, data entry and software development; through to cleaning, plumbing and dog walking - even NASA uses us!
This won't be your typical cog-in-the-machine type of job. If you're a high achiever with talent, looking for something more than a boring job in corporate, want to work with the best and brightest and don't need to be handheld, this is the job for you.
If you join a mega-cap technology company as the 10,000th hire you might struggle to figure out the impact you are making. If you join a startup, you might get to work on the latest fad, but likely have few mentors to learn from, work on toy problems and never change the world.
