Wikimedia is looking for a contractor whose primary focus will be to
assist the community developers to migrate their tools to this new Labs
infrastructure, especially those residing in Toolserver today. In
addition, this person will:

    Support enhancement and perform operational duties of the Labs
Virtualization Project using OpenStack and LAMP-stack technology. Duties
include developing, deploying and supporting tools to provision and
manage large networks of virtual machines, creating a redundant and
scalable cloud computing platform
    Set up monitoring systems
    Provide system and database administration duties for the Labs
environment

Candidates do not have to live in the USA; remote candidates are
welcome.  You must be willing to travel occasionally for international
meetings, as well as to perform your duties.  Two WMF people are already
working on the Wikimedia Labs infrastructure (Ryan Lane and Andrew
Bogott); this contractor will work closely with them, DaB. and Nosy,
Toolserver users, and the Engineering Community Team.

Please see the job description for more details on what the contractor
will do and what the required qualifications are.  And please spread the
word about this opening (and about our other openings at

we'd love to fill this soon.  Thank you!
