[John Jarvis]

Hi BBLISA - we are looking for a devops engineer to join our current
3-person operations team.

Some things about edx.org that I find exciting:

* expanding online education and teaching the world - great mission,
exciting environment

* the code you write including provisioning scripts are open sourced, we
also engage the community for contributions

* plenty of interesting problems to solve

Looking for candidates with strong scripting skills, experience with AWS
preferred.  If you are interested you can send mail to jarv at edx.org (also
include jobs at edx.org).  If you have sent us a resume in the past please
feel free to send one to me again since sometimes they get lost in the
shuffle.
