What You Will Bring

You’re an experienced Site Reliability Engineer (or DevOps Engineer) who believes strongly in shared ownership of infrastructure and related tooling. You have worked closely with engineers to design, build, and support service-oriented architectures. You believe in spreading DevOps knowledge throughout the engineering organization, by focusing on building tools and processes that enable development teams to own their infrastructure and break down typical DevOps silos.

• Develop documentation and training to onboard and level-up the DevOps knowledge within the organization.
• Work closely with devs to shape the direction of our infrastructure and tooling and position us well for future innovation and development.
• Deal with ambiguity. When presented with a problem, the successful candidate can articulate assumptions and collaborate with the teammates to deliver a solution in a timely fashion.

What Technical Skills Will Help You Be Successful

• 2+ years of experience with configuration management software.
• 5+ years of experience building infrastructure.
• 1+ years of experience using Terraform, or CloudFormation, or a similar tool to provision cloud infrastructure. 
• Strong practical knowledge of Docker, container registries, and container orchestration technologies (such as Kubernetes)
