Composed.com is a classical music streaming service owned by Universal and ClassicFM. We have 3 client apps (iOS, Android and React) and a lot of backend systems (mainly Ruby) for handling content. We are currently a team of 5, now expanding to 7.

We are looking for someone to lead the DevOps side of things as we move out of an 'incubation phase' at the Made by Many agency where their staff have been filling this role. Our new team member could be a devops specialist or a generalist with the relevant experience who chooses to focus on the operations area.

Ideally this will be a full-time role. We are based near Old St on the canal.

-----------------

We’re looking for an experienced operations developer to join a brand new team working on Composed. Composed (https://www.composed.com/) is a first of its kind, digital classical music streaming service (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifQsUmauPwQ) from Universal Music released in April 2015.

As the sole operations developer on the product, you will be an integral part of a small cross-discipline team working to ensure the product has a stable and efficient infrastructure. 

The team as a whole will work from prototyping with users through to production and you can expect a fast-moving Agile product cycle and the opportunity to see your work reaching a broad international user base.

Your job will involve:

	• scaling the service as it grows and reaches a worldwide audience
	• automating provisioning and deployment of environments
	• collaborating with designers and developers to iterate quickly and get new features and fixes released
	• championing performance and highlighting operation requirements to the wider team
	• articulating your thinking to colleagues and users in a clear and understandable way

We use AWS, Nginx, Varnish, Elasticsearch, Redis, PostgreSQL, Docker, Git (and Github) for version control, full unit and integration tests, pull requests for code reviews and Jenkins for continuous integration. You should have previous experience administering Linux based systems, ideally Ubuntu. You should also have experience with shell scripting and the ability to program (we have a Rails/Go stack).  Previous experience with Debian packaging would be a bonus. 

The Composed team is small which means you would have visibility of all aspects of building the product and the opportunity to make your voice heard. We are open to all ways of working and are happy to discuss any flexibility requirements.

The team is currently co-located with Made by Many. They are based in an old canal-side marble factory in Islington and you would work with a small 5 person team inside the larger 40 person agency.

This position is not suitable for remote working. You must be eligible to work in the UK.
