I'm the founder of SadServers, a SaaS that provides hands-on challenges for Linux & DevOps/SRE engineers and assessments for hiring teams. It was launched (and quickly broken) here on HN four years ago and we've been growing steadily since then (about to pass 1M VMs served).
Besides training and interviewing, companies use our platform to evaluate and/or train their SRE AI agents. I'm looking for a software engineer who can develop this offering, collaborating with customers and working on projects like our own benchmarking, see https://srebattle.com/ (WIP) for example. Our stack is Django REST (backend), Python (runners), Node/React/Vite (website).
Please email [email protected] with subject "SRE AI Developer". The hiring process for selected applicants is two steps: one video call and one paid mini-project.
A small annoyance in startup circles is getting feedback about my website front page along the lines of "I didn't understand your hero, everybody should understand in one sentence what you do". Well, no, my clients will self-select as in not everybody needs to understand what "troubleshooting servers" or "devops" is :-)
"You find a problem in a niche, say accounting for plumbers, and build for that, then you just go and market to these people". It's way better to work on something you are familiar with and you like.
It is hard to have a checker that eliminates both false positives and false negatives in general, but we always try to minimize false negatives and we failed initially here.
We have scenarios running on k8s, both on single VMs (the ones you can see in the scenario list) and we also have a beta/PoC k8s cluster where we currently run a couple of scenarios as single pod (a docker container) or as a full system (the "kubernetes playgrounds", which is kind of hidden while we test it).
Is this what you were wondering? we do have pending to introduce podman scenarios as well
