- This role focuses on evolving our platform towards enabling high-level declarative infrastructure orchestration and its operations
- This platform closely integrates our Compute, Network, and Storage control planes, allowing us to develop highly efficient and fast-to-iterate-on services tailored to various product areas within the company, abstracting our developers from the nuances of underlying infrastructure
- The ideal candidate will play a staff, leading role in implementing, maintaining, and strategically evolving Addepar’s Production Infrastructure
- You will bring a robust combination of leading innovative solutions across functional teams and extensive hands-on development experience in AWS/cloud, Linux/Unix, networking, advanced scripting abilities, containerization, Kubernetes, Terraform, Information Security, deep debugging, and comprehensive monitoring/observability skills
- This includes designing, deploying, monitoring, automating, and optimizing all operational aspects of Addepar's platform with a focus on reliability, scalability, and efficiency
- Lead the design, implementation, and operationalization of container infrastructure using Kubernetes (k8s), ensuring high availability, performance, and security
- Architect, build, and maintain advanced, automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, ArgoCD, AWS CodeBuild/Pipeline, GitHub Actions, or similar, establishing best practices for deployment strategies (e.g., blue/green, canary)
- Drive the adoption and evangelism of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using Terraform, focusing on scaling the Addepar Platform across regions with a focus on cost optimization and operational efficiency
- Develop deep application-level knowledge to proactively inform and influence infrastructure requirements and constraints for Developers, QA, and Management, including implementing sophisticated dashboards for Cost and Inventory management, performance analysis, and capacity planning
- Perform advanced monitoring and troubleshooting of our infrastructure and application stack using a wide array of logging/monitoring tools, driving root cause analysis and implementing preventative measures
- Initiate and lead collaborations with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve complex Application or infrastructure issues, serving as a technical subject matter expert
- Serve as a primary on-call responder for critical incidents, demonstrating strong problem-solving skills under pressure and contributing to post-incident reviews to improve system resilience
- Highlight team-specific activities, followed by how this role will interact with other teams and groups
Our take
Investment advisers require speed, clarity and flexibility when managing client portfolios. Addepar is a wealth management software platform created with these requirements in mind. The platform aggregates portfolio, market, and client data in one place, allowing financial professionals to analyze and visualize the data they need.
Addepar currently tracks more than $4 trillion of assets with circa 800 clients including individual advisers, family offices, and large institutions such as AllianceBernstein, Bartlett Wealth Management, and Morgan Stanley.
The multi-unicorn company has been pursuing global expansion, opening its first office outside of the United States in Scotland in 2021 and a new London office in late 2022 and appointing new leadership members from the likes of Oracle and Amazon Web Services. Addepar is certainly gaining momentum as it expands operations and further innovates its suite of solutions.
