DevOps Engineer

The DevOps team is responsible for building a continuously expanding technology infrastructure that provides the global platform by which OpenTable succeeds. We build our data center and cloud infrastructure using the latest networking, virtualization, automation, and configuration management tools. If the tools don’t exist or meet our needs, we write or script them ourselves. We believe in open source and use it extensively. Our team is highly collaborative and works with all engineering organizations very closely. We strive for efficiency, stability, and speed. The Data Center Operations team works collaboratively with all functional areas across the company and provides the following services:
