Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer that will help take our cloud infrastructure to the next level
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent experience to have developed software engineering fundamentals
- Minimum of 3+ years of experience in a DevOps role or a similar position
- Experience architecting and building cloud infrastructure with IaC such as Terraform
- Deep knowledge of AWS services, patterns and best practices for resiliency, scalability, and security. AWS Certifications not required but preferred
- Experience developing software. We work with Python for most platform automation and TypeScript in application code, but you'll get a chance to learn them if your background is with different languages
- Experience working within DevOps, CI/CD, GitOps, and/or Agile methodologies, as well as experience hands-on with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools such as GitLab CI, Github Actions, Jenkins, etc
- Team Player: You enjoy collaborating with others and have strong communication skills
- Problem Solver: You have a keen analytical mind and enjoy solving complex problems, especially those related to security challenges in a Data environment
- Lifelong Learner: You are passionate about staying updated with the latest technological and security trends
- Adaptable: You are flexible and can adapt to changing priorities and technologies
- Detail-Oriented: You have a strong attention to detail, especially when it comes to identifying and mitigating security risks
What the job involves
- You will help define the patterns and practices for the next evolution of our cloud infrastructure and containerized deployments, the services we use in the cloud, and the standards we follow in order to build a stable, secure, and scalable platform for our engineering group
- This role will include high-level design and architecture of Cloud and DevOps practices, combined with hands-on implementation and coding of cloud components, automation, and application updates
- This role provides a unique opportunity to blend cloud infrastructure, software development, and operations expertise to impact the entire organization as we continue to grow our systems, teams, and processes
- This person will be on our cloud infrastructure team and collaborate closely with other Engineers: Platform, Security, Data, and Software
- Our mission is to enable our customers, GameChanger engineering, to efficiently deliver great products on a secure and reliable platform
- Establish and drive infrastructure best practices using industry-standard tools and frameworks (e.g., AWS Well-Architected, 12 factor apps, etc.) to improve scalability, resiliency, cost-efficiency, and developer experience of our cloud platform
- Architect, Design, and build major components of cloud infrastructure to enable secure, reliable, scalable, and easy use of cloud services on AWS
- Hands-on building of cloud infrastructure and automation by writing software and infrastructure as code. Make changes yourself or work closely with application engineers to update applications and deployment pipelines as needed to support cloud changes
- Work closely with Security Engineers to ensure our cloud environment follows security best practices, integrating and standing up tools and vendors as needed, and writing automation to detect and fix gaps
- Design and build systems and procedures to allow accurate cost reporting of cloud infrastructure, analyze solutions for possible cost efficiency, and work with product managers and engineers to drive and implement cost-saving measures where appropriate
- Build, and maintain observability tools and alerts (we currently use datadog) for our infrastructure and software so that engineers can quickly receive feedback on their changes
- Collaborate with other DevOps/SRE/Security Engineers on projects in the DevOps space - E.g., integrating new tools, improving deployment speed, improving scalability and resiliency of cloud-deployed applications
- Build relationships with product and platform engineering teams to understand roadmaps, influence architectural decisions, and ensure our infrastructure is setup for teams to self-serve as much as possible
Our take
The competitive nature of sports has always been driven by scorekeeping, and nowadays results are often consumed online. However, for smaller teams it can be difficult to provide this information digitally, as they do not have dedicated web development staff.
GameChanger provides a scorekeeping and statistics platform for sports teams to engage with their fans, that allows viewers to track the progress of a game in real-time similar to with professional sports. The company also embeds a live-streaming service into the platform to facilitate remote viewing, helping to increase audience engagement.
Whilst some sports teams already stream events on platforms such as Twitch and YouTube, most do not have the technical resources to achieve this. GameChanger has recognised this gap in the market, providing a simple yet unified platform for sports scoreboards and streaming, providing a fair opportunity for any team to maximise their community engagement.
