Who We
Are:
Elenion
Technologies is driving innovation in silicon photonics, an emerging technology
poised to significantly increase performance and reduce costs of optical
systems. We are headquartered in New York City, with offices in San Jose,
California and Munich, Germany.
After pursuing a
path of intensely focused research and development for two years in
stealth-mode, Elenion recently unveiled itself to the world and has assembled a
world-class team of multi-disciplinary experts. Members of our leadership team
have built and sold several companies, published papers in the top scientific
journals in the world, raised hundreds of millions of dollars of venture
capital, and have built products and deployed them to the market. The technical team includes world leaders in our space, and many members are PhD
scientists and engineers from the top schools in the world, such as MIT,
Caltech, UChicago, and Columbia. This has enabled our team to run very lean on
IT resources, relying on external consultants for support up to this point.
Elenion is
developing next-generation photonic integrated circuit technologies and
solutions for a broad range of datacom and telecom applications. It is almost
certain that, as you read this web page, the data traveling from the server to
your computer or phone went through hardware that someone on our team designed,
built, or deployed.
This team builds
the hardware at the heart of the internet. We think that’s cool. Hopefully, you
do too.
The
Position:
We are looking
for an experienced DevOps engineer to help drive our success in developing
world-class optical technologies. This position will be located at our
headquarters in midtown Manhattan, on Madison Avenue, with a large team of
highly technical personnel – physicists, engineers, programmers, et cetera. One
of the key responsibilities for this role will be to help centralize and
organize our IT infrastructure, including networking and computing resources
and administration mechanisms, policies and procedures. These are key systems
which will enable our R&D teams to perform at their best and for our team
to excel. As this position is our first full-time IT hire, we need someone who
can assess existing systems, transition services to new platforms, implement
industry best-practices, generate detailed documentation, and help create a
culture of operational excellence in all aspects of our IT infrastructure.
Additionally, we are looking for someone who is interested in building tools to
automate processes directly involved in our research, development, and
operations teams.
This position will require someone who can identify what needs to be
done with minimal direct supervision, then prioritize and execute. As the
organization grows there will be multiple opportunities for professional growth
and career development, in any of several different directions. The ideal
candidate is someone who has deep experience with the relevant technology, but
who is first and foremost a problem solver, a fast learner, and someone who
understands how to triage and prioritize many different tasks in light of
overall organizational goals, seeking guidance as needed.
Key Responsibilities:
·
Operate key business and
operational support systems, including monitoring, configuration management,
and other key platforms
·
Propose new and innovative
solutions to improve customer satisfaction, reduce cost, and decrease
complexity
·
Implement infrastructure
strategy decisions and budget planning
·
Reduce the number of parallel
platforms through consolidation and virtualization
·
Automate day-to-day tasks on
service providing systems
·
Produce written documentation,
provide training, and occasionally perform maintenance and respond to issues
outside of business-hours
·
Respond to support tickets and
escalations in a timely fashion
·
Troubleshooting, capacity
planning, performance tuning and reporting
