LiveWatch Security | DevOps Engineer | Chicago, IL | ONSITE

LiveWatch is a home security and automation company that combines industry-leading technology and truly personal service to protect our customers.

We're looking for a Devops Engineer to work alongside our small engineering team (currently around 6, depending on your definitions) building robust systems and processes. We'd like someone with strong AWS chops and experience with provisioning/config management tools (we currently use Ansible and Terraform). Some other nice points to have would be experience with managing monitoring or metric aggregation systems and PCI compliance.

One notable feature to me is the transparency in the organization. The whys and hows of both the past and future are well communicated across most teams. The things we work on are clearly tied to goals, and at the end of the day, numbers. Our work doesn't exist in a vacuum and feels grounded in a service that actually helps people.

Foxpass, a YCombinator (S15) company, is looking for early employees who wish to create software to help companies implement good security practices in their infrastructure. Doing security "the right way" should be easy. Our first product offers SSH key management, LDAP, and RADIUS in the cloud to ensure that engineers and employees use their own accounts to log into servers and wireless networks. Furthermore, we're encouraging companies to make access control API-based, so that access can be given and then rescinded as soon as possible (on-call shift over, JIRA ticket closed, etc.).

We are looking for:

1) A senior back-end engineer who has significant experience with building and operating high-uptime, high-performance systems in the cloud.

2) An account executive to manage the inbound leads and convert them into happy Foxpass customers.
