CyVerse is an NSF-funded project building cloud platforms for biosciences research. As a DevOps Engineer on the Core Services team, you'll work with me to build and manage the systems that run Atmosphere (http://www.cyverse.org/atmosphere) -- think "virtual Linux workstations for research scientists". Some technologies you'll work with are GNU+Linux, OpenStack, Ansible, and Python. Our web application is written in Django and React.
We also support one of the world's largest iRODS deployments (http://irods.org), and are in the early stages of implementing Ceph for block storage. We have an exciting feature roadmap for the next year, and need a strong generalist sysadmin/developer to help us deliver valuable tools to our community.
Everything that we build is released to the world under a BSD license -- look up our GitHub orgs (cyverse, iplantcollaborativeopensource, and cyverse-ansible). We sit next to a team of science analysts and have plenty of opportunities to help our users get the most from our services. We work in a beautiful, modern building at the University of Arizona (http://bio5.org/). As university employees we have great benefits and work-life balance. Tucson is a wonderfully livable Southwestern city with a growing tech/software/research community and plenty of things to do outside.
Ceteris paribus, someone who finds our projects, technologies, and public service mission compelling would be a better fit than someone trying to maximize salary potential.
Also, for those new to Tucson, look up the cost of living. I spend just 7% of my pre-tax salary on housing.
Just provide a range when candidates ask please. Its perfectly reasonable and the whole "we only want passionate rockstars that understand we are saving the world" farce is unprofessional.
Understood -- I'm not a hiring manager, just trying to get the word out for an open position on my team.
I am told "the minimum salary is $65k", and peterebailey's comment links to a spreadsheet listing the actual salaries of myself and all of my colleagues (as we are public employees). Hopefully that is sufficient.
