Alitu is a web app designed to make it really, really easy to create a podcast.
What Does Alitu Do?
The user can upload a video or an audio file, and Alitu can process it to clean it up, add their audio branding, . We also provide a range of other features to allow the user to edit and arrange those files and create their final episode for publishing.
What are We Looking For?
We're looking for a Devops engineer, with back-end experience in node.js, to come on-board to take on regular work on the app and help us grow. If you're an audio geek too, even better – that's our core business – but video and media in general is also bread and butter for Alitu.
Our plans for the future are huge – we have a big list of features we want to get into the app, and we're confident we can double our user-base which is already significant. We need you to help us build a rock-solid, reliable tool for those users, and to work with us to build the new features that'll keep them excited.
Who is this for?
We're looking for someone with at least 2 year's experience in Devops, or a closely related field:
- Engineer Level – 2+ years in a Devops or back-end role, primarily Node.js and AWS infrastructure management
- Senior – 5+ year experience, with advanced knowledge of devops work in AWS .
Responsibilities
- Maintain and optimise the running of our application on AWS
- Plan for scaling and improving the performance of the entire Alitu infrastructure
- Maintain and develop the RestfulAPI which links our back-end system to the application UI.
- Develop linkages with new external systems via API
- Maintain and develop our existing node.js based media editing application

How it Works
- Salary – Competitive, depending on experience & skills

- Benefits – We'll pay for courses, equipment, and conference attendance to help your development.
