WHAT WILL YOU WORK ON?

Cerberus is Nike's secrets management platform, responsible for securing run-time access to sensitive data used by several hundreds of microservices around the clock. As a member of the Cerberus team you will design, build, and support this crucial service ecosystem for Nike's e-commerce infrastructure built on JVM, JavaScript, and Golang stacks. You will be tasked with uplifting and continuously improving the platform, migrating Cerberus from AWS-only technologies such as EC2 to cloud-agnostic, Kubernetes-based technologies. Working on Cerberus will offer you the opportunity to not only conceive and implement innovative systems software using some of the most modern patterns and practices found in the cloud infrastructure repertoire, but also to play a key role in keeping Nike's direct-to-consumer fleet scalable, performant, and above all, secure.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

A successful candidate will have solid coding chops and a proven, comprehensive understanding of software development standard methodologies such as infrastructure-as-code, agile SDLC, git workflows, peer code review and unit/integration testing. Experience in one or more cloud providers such as AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP with knowledge of multi-account/multi-region operations will be highly advantageous, as will expertise in writing and testing RESTful APIs.

WHO WILL YOU WORK WITH?

You will work within a highly collaborative and multi-discipline engineering team. You are going to work with product management to support product- and service-scoping activities. Your role will be to implement and present designs, explain constraints, and work with fellow engineers and project team members to negotiate delivery schedules of features in an agile fashion. Here, the ability to communicate openly, honestly, and clearly (verbally and via documentation) is an advantage.
