Mywaves is revolutionizing the world of user generated content and mobile entertainment by mobilizing all video on the web. We are adding an insane number of users from around the world everyday, and there is already a huge amount of content channels in our system…streaming out to mobile phones everywhere.

We have an exciting role with plenty of opportunity to show off your *nix skills!  Do you enjoy point-and-click administration, delegating hard tasks to someone else, doing the same thing day in and day out, paying someone to implement?  Neither do we!  We don’t buy stuff, we build stuff!  If you enjoy doing rather than watching then we’ll enjoy hiring you.  We are on the cutting edge of technology: Linux (of course), Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Mobile + Video, and of course all the cool stuff to support the apps!

do
  echo “I’m great at: $skill”
done

This is a stable startup, but it’s still a startup.  Candidates should enjoy a startup environment.  EG: having fun, working on whatever needs working on, being part of a small close team, do it yourself “I don’t need no stinking manager” attitude!  You should be confident (and happy) to use open source products.  Did we say use?  We meant yum|apt-get|emerg open source products!

Did we mention this was a hands-on Linux Admin job?  As such you should be able to answer *nix admin questions (even the difficult ones), you should be very proficient in scripting and troubleshooting…did you see the loop?

Oh yeah, our problem solving case, take note of default.
