CorpIT Systems Administrator | AppNexus Inc. | New York, United States
CorpIT Systems Administrator (New York)Technical Operations | New York, United States |
Team Description:
The AppNexus CorpIT SysOps team, part of the company’s Technical Operations group, owns the technology that powers all of the company’s internally facing infrastructure. With over 7,000 servers deployed in 5 data centers across the globe, AppNexus has an impressive and complex technical footprint run by some of the best ops folks in the industry. Our advertising business has been built on top of our homegrown cloud platform, which allows us the flexibility to grow with the market and adapt to ever changing technical challenges. We have been expanding at an incredible pace and we are looking for a talented sys-admin to join our team and help us bring our infrastructure to the next level.
Consider some of the problems we tackle every day:
- Critical services: With a presence in 8 countries (the sun never sets on AppNexus), 700+ active internal users, thousands of external users and an aggressive goal of 99.999% uptime for all of our services, we are constantly challenged to not only maintain existing systems but also drive new projects forward.
- Breadth of technology: The CorpIT SysOps team is the only remaining generalist team in the Technical Operations organization. That means from Centos to Windows, Juniper SRX’s to WLC’s, Confluence to Exchange, Bash to Puppet, we get to touch it all. If you’re not an expert yet, you will be before long.
- Automating the world: The Technical Operations group as a whole has a rule; “If you have to do it more than twice, automate it”. Automation is the only way to ensure that the business can scale and we meet our reliability goals.

You will have the opportunity to make a real impact on the technology that your peers use daily.
