We are an early stage startup building a log management, monitoring, and alerting service based on our experience running cloud services at Google. We are seeking a freelancer to adapt the agent program that our customers run on their servers to collect system metrics and server logs. It is written in Python and currently runs on Linux so we are looking to adapt it for Windows.
This is a great opportunity to work with a small, very engineering-focused company at an early stage of development working with very interesting technologies. The project will have a big impact on our customers. Plus, the agent is open sourced so this work benefits the community and will give the developer something they can point at for future employers. Finally, this project could result in more ongoing work in the months / years to come.
The main tasks will include:
* Create a build process that will bundle the Python agent as a Windows executable and run it as a Windows service (using something like py2exe)
* Create an installer
* Develop a mechanism to allow our users to easily update the agent when new releases are made
* Write code to collect relevant system metrics from the Windows server
We are looking for candidates who meet the following requirements:
* Windows expert, focusing on Window Services and best practices
* Have built Windows executables from Python on previous projects
* Have created installers for Windows
* Must be willing to provide ongoing support (which we will pay for as needed)
Interested? Email contact@scalyr.com with resume and brief description of how your background matches our candidate requirements.
