 Company Description
 WeSpire is growing rapidly, and we're looking to expand our smart, practical engineering team so we can deliver on our mission to help people live healthier and more sustainable lives. We have built an elegant, beautifully-designed white-label SAAS platform that's currently shaking up the Fortune 500.
 We believe that inspiring people to make sustainable choices is a worthwhile cause - and a very attractive business opportunity. We have a great sales team, and happy, paying customers. We believe the best way to grow is to hire really good people and give them what they need to execute.
 Required Skills and Experience
 You have 5-10 years operations engineering experience, ideally in a high-growth environment. You have been responsible for the health, security, quality and performance of web and mobile applications for the consumer or enterprise, ideally with a broad user base like social platforms, gamification platforms, or lifestyle, action-based apps (Foursquare, Runkeeper, LoseIt, health platforms, etc). You have strong scripting skills and are comfortable with frequent, incremental code testing and deployment. You possess a grasp of automation and data management tools. You are client focused, with an affinity for supporting non-technical clients, particularly during the sales and onboarding process. You focus on business outcomes, collaborate effectively across teams and practice proactive communication. You are flexible, smart, capable of multi-tasking and prioritizing efficiently. You love working in a fast-paced, start-up environment and are fun to work with.
 Job Description
 You'll be working with a super smart team of entrepreneurs, top notch sales talent, UX designers, and back-end engineers to scale the company and drive adoption and usage of the platform, on both web and mobile devices, for the leading companies in the world. In the process, you will also become a pioneer in using technology to drive real-life behavior change for good. Day to day, you'll be maintaining our Heroku-based infrastructure to ensure the site is up and running and that users are happy. In addition, you'll be identifying operational priorities, issues, and solutions to enhance our platform security, quality and performance. You'll support the sales team in providing technical support to prospective clients, which ranges from Information Security reviews and penetration tests to SAML and other directory integrations. You will also oversee the quality assurance team and work closely with the analytics team. You will be company's primary owner for the relationships with hosting, email, DNS, analytics and other service providers. You will also be involved in some day-to-day corporate technical infrastructure support.
 We use exclusively Mac OS X in the office, and we host on Heroku and Amazon AWS. We also use GitHub, Slack, Ruby, Rails, Git, PostgreSQL, Haml, Sass, jQuery, CoffeeScript, TDD via Minitest, Pivotal Tracker, Sendgrid and Mixpanel.
 Compensation
 Cash comp paired with equity - we are looking for the best and will pay them accordingly. Health coverage and dental benefits, 401k plan. The opportunity for growth in a fast-paced progressive company is yours for the taking. A historic loft in downtown Boston accessible by the red, green, orange, and silver lines with a great room for engineers. Cat pictures in Campfire; company Meat-Free Monday chef and social events.
