Desirable

• We deal with data. BIG data. We operate mainly in AWS, with multiple Kubernetes clusters and thousands of servers. We’re looking for someone with skills and passion necessary to create a big impact
• We have a wide array of projects you can tackle, with plenty of opportunities to grow as an individual and as a senior DevOps engineer
• Our Developer Experience (DevEx) team has a need for an experienced DevOps/SRE engineer who can help us attain the goals outlined in our charter:
• To empower engineering teams by creating or implementing intuitive tools, optimizing workflows, and fostering a seamless development experience
• We aim to enhance productivity, collaboration, and innovation by delivering robust solutions that remove friction, streamline processes, and support the continuous evolution of engineering excellence
• Our team consists of senior engineers who work together with minimal supervision to attain those goals
• We tend to be more focused on “Dev” than “Ops” than many DevOps/SRE teams, but as we are supporting teams that run their systems on AWS and Kubernetes, some significant experience on the operations side is required
• We “eat our own dog food”, i.e. whenever possible, we use the same tech stack and processes that we recommend and/or support
• We also believe that “buy” is better than “build” in most cases, and that the simplest solutions are usually best
