Brandwatch is building something special. We have already created the best
Social Media Monitoring platform in the world, but that’s just the start.
We are looking for great people to help us write the next chapter in Social.

We are now hiring a Linux Systems Engineer to join our Systems team in
Brighton. Candidates choosing to remote work in the London or Berlin
offices may also be considered.

Role Responsibilities:
- Improving the infrastructure of the Brandwatch Applications, currently
NginX, Node.js, Apache Tomcat,  PostgreSQL, Apache Solr, Elasticsearch and
Apache HBase running on Debian GNU/Linux
- Assisting the product development teams to ensure new products and
features are fast, secure, robust, correctly monitored and scalable
- Automating service and infrastructure provisioning, currently using
Puppet and Ansible on a mixture of physical and virtualised servers
- Taking part in the operations support rota, to ensure that our
applications run smoothly at all times

Department as a whole

Our Culture:

- Spacious new offices in the Brighton North Laine, with “Who’s coming for
burgers on the beach” being a regular lunch time call in the engineering
department
- Work with people all over the world…and use telepresence robots for
meeting remote colleagues… provided you don’t mind seeing a Berliner
colleague’s face rolling past on a robot!
- “Funky Friday” takes place every other week giving you 10% of your time
to work on something new, reading groups, tech talks, generous training and
conference budgets, and any technical books you need

Our Perks:
- All the usual start-up temptations…cupboards bursting with snacks (a
range to satisfy all taste buds), fruit boxes, drinks fridges… and of
course coffee.

- A company that values creativity and cares about its staff
- An environment where constant innovation and having fun are required
- A flat company structure where everyone’s voice can be heard
