Jared Koumentis, a Site Reliability Engineer, asked for a computer in high school; his family gave him a bunch of parts and said, “Make it work!” He did. He advises budding engineers to become familiar with Linux, particularly Ubuntu, and to delve into other Unixes too. Learn about the philosophy and ideals behind the automation movement; like Chef or Puppet. He says, “The best skill is flexibility. If you can’t adapt, you’re going to fail.”
“I have a secret goal to build a huge, awesome lounge at OmniTI.”
Now, the secret is out...
Graham Knop is a Web Engineer, working most recently with a Perl back-end and Drupal front-end system. He's been writing and executing a lot of test plans, detecting legacy issues and resolving them before they become problems for the client. For Graham, being comfortable with many different technologies and able to come up-to-speed on new systems—and knowing how different systems fit together—are necessary skills for a good Web Engineer.
He really loves making tools and systems that make life easier for people working on projects, but he says, “Computers are terrible!”
Many OmniTI employees are leading figures in web development and Internet architectures. As Leon Fayer, our VP of Business Development says,
Clinton Wolfe, Web Architect and a four-year veteran of OmniTI, likes having the freedom to choose the right solution for the problem. He believes that exposure to a wide variety of technologies and solutions, as well as experience with Ruby, Python, Chef, Perl, PHP and Postgres make for a great Web Architect, but warns that incident response can be painful!
His first computer was a Tandy 1000tx, 286 processor, with dual, single-sided floppies. His kryptonite is an “easily fixed bug.”
Here, everyone makes a difference.
As successful teams in consulting go, I’ve seen two different styles. In the first, a team is led by a brilliant mind that commands respect and has a lucid picture of the goals and timelines on which his team will execute. This assures a client of their success. The other scenario is where the leader provides mentoring, structure and reinforcement, but the brilliance is spread across the team. This style ensures a client’s success as well.
At OmniTI we ensure client success by building brilliant teams.

What’s a site reliability engineer? It’s the person responsible for making sure everything just works. It doesn’t matter who wrote the code; it doesn’t matter why it is broken. It’s 3 in the morning, and you’re at the helm. You have the authority to fix it and be a hero.

We have some of the best PHP and Perl talent around, and we work on some pretty hefty code bases. How does half a million lines of Perl sound? We eat that for breakfast. Sprinkle Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL on top at a few thousand transactions per second, and you have a nice recipe for a web site that services 20 million consumers. Want to work on projects like this?
We’d like to leave you with the following statement from our friend and colleague, Rich Bowen, of the Apache Software Foundation. We think it beautifully captures what it means to work here:
Having known a number of the OmniTI staff, both personally and professionally, for the last ten years or so, I really have nothing but good things to say about them. Their undeniable expertise in their fields have consistently impressed me.
In many cases, they have written the industry-accepted standard books on their subjects, and I'm proud to show these books to people, show off their signatures, and say, "I know George." Or Chris, or Luke, or Theo, or whoever it might be at that moment. When I have a question on PHP, web application security, or web scalability, these are the guys that I go to first—first to their books, and then I drop them email, because I know that they will not only have a quick answer, but it will be the best available answer, based on years of experience in the trenches, solving real customer problems, much more complex than the one that I'm facing.
The insistence on perfection of these individuals leaves me no doubt that the entire company is composed of people of the same calibre—they'd accept no less in the people with whom they surround themselves.
