Position/Project Summary:

This position is responsible for handling advanced systems administration and automation tasks, as well as development of our in-house datacenter automation tool which is written in Python/Django. For this role, we are seeking an expert Django developer with a proven track record of shipping production quality Django web applications. Applicants without Django experience will not be considered for this role.

At A2 there are thousands of servers and devices that our teams need to manage the state of the equipment. To accomplish this, A2 uses a custom Django application that drives our datacenter automation. The servers and devices that are managed by this system are a mix of both internal and customer facing systems.

While this Python app is running Django, there is a lot more to it. There is a lot of backend code that requires Linux and Network systems training to fully understand and be successful in this project. The Python app exposes an API to our billing system to handle the lifecycles of some of our hosting products, like bare metal dedicated servers or VPS. Our billing system issues create, terminate, suspend, and resume commands to the Python system and it takes care of running the necessary commands to put the device into the requested state.
