My role at One Day, One Job goes well beyond writing the daily posts. For instance, when the server goes down, it’s my job to get it fixed. I spend a decent amount of time on IT type stuff, but I’m in no way an expert. I guess that means that it’s okay that I don’t completely understand what Cloudkick does. They’re a Y-Combinator startup based in San Francisco, and they’re “revolutionizing the way companies manage their IT infrastructure.” In more complex terms they provide tools that enable cloud server management through the APIs of a number of different web hosts. The truth is that most of you (like me) won’t understand what that means, but for those who do, Cloudkick should be worth looking at. What I can tell about Cloudkick is that they’re offering tools that make managing IT much simpler (even if it’s still really complex). The tools offered by many web hosts have terrible interfaces, so there’s a huge need for what Cloudkick is doing.
At this point Cloudkick is a very small start-up, and they’re still intensely focused on the technology side of their business. They services that they’re offering are currently free, and they haven’t started hiring for the types of business positions that come later in a startup’s lifecycle. They’ve already received a lot of press, and they apparently have lots of users. As they build out the paid premium services that they intend to offer, I’m sure that they’ll become a bit more interesting for non-techies. Right now, the only job posted on Cloudkick’s Careers page is for a Front-End Web Developer. It sounds like a pretty cool gig, so if you’re interested, “send an email to careers@cloudkick.com with a short introduction about yourself and your résumé.”
