Desirable

• The Cloud Platform team’s purpose is to empower software engineers, reduce unnecessary blockers, and increase our velocity to create exceptional products
• We do this by making software effortless to build, deploy, and manage. Using automation, shared libraries, and DevOps tools, we solve the common software problems so other engineers can focus on Gecko’s unique challenges
• This role will focus on evolving our cloud architecture and automation with a strong emphasis on our government cloud environment
• You will own the maintainability and usability of our government single-tenant deployments, which are complex and compliance-heavy by nature
• Your job is to absorb that complexity once, then abstract and automate it away so product engineers can deploy and operate confidently without becoming government-cloud experts themselves
• Be the visionary and owner of the strategies for maintaining and scaling our disparate single-tenant environments, which currently exist in Google Government Cloud and Azure, with potential expansion to AWS
• Abstract and automate the differences between our various cloud environments. You will ensure that developers don’t need to carry the cognitive load of each environment's specific compliance regulations and nuances
• Develop robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and shared libraries that benefit all environments, preventing work from being repeated
• Work closely with the other members of the Cloud Platform team to achieve our mission of making software at Gecko effortless to build, deploy, and manage. Areas currently owned by the team currently include:
• Cloud Subject Matter Experts and internal consultants
• Smooth, intuitive, automated CI/CD
• Customer authentication
• Permission management
• DevOps Tool optimization
• We use a variety of technologies. For managing infrastructure and deployments, we mostly use Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Docker
• Our cloud architecture is primarily serverless, stateless, and event-driven. Gecko primarily operates using Python, React, and Typescript
• This is a non-exhaustive list and we are tech agnostic in our interview process, so we encourage you to apply regardless of your background
