Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an Infrastructure Engineering Intern with 4-16 months of experience to join our infrastructure engineering team
- You have experience and comfort with POSIX-based operating systems
- You’ve used docker before and understand what it is and what problems it solves
- You have some knowledge of how networked services in the cloud work: VPC, IP, TCP, DNS, HTTP, etc
- You abhor repetitive manual processes and are excited to automate them away
- You have a sixth sense for spotting waste (in money, time, CPU cycles) and eliminating it
- You learn quickly, regardless of the languages and technologies used
What the job involves
- Our team is responsible for the infrastructure around building, deploying, and monitoring our services, databases, and caches
- Work with cutting edge infrastructure tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, and Istio
- Accelerate development across the company with faster, safer, and more frequent deploys
- Meaningfully improve developer happiness and productivity across the company with better development tools and workflows
- Contribute directly to the bottom line with cost savings initiatives and optimizations
- Catch errors and performance issues early with automated monitoring and alerting
Our take
Ecommerce scaleup Super (formerly known as Snapcommerce) is looking to revolutionize the eCommerce experience. Instead of shopping around disparate sources for the best consumer product deals, Super wants users to be able to send a message to their account and have the best personalized deals returned, ready to purchase.
The company has tried-and-tested this approach with its flagship and original platform Snaptravel, which delivers travel deals via a text-like interface across Messenger, WhatsApp, and SMS. It proved a hit, already crossing the $1B sales mark with nearly half of sales coming from repeat customers. This is substantial, as any significant overhaul of how people shop requires both efficacy and popularity to catch on - Snaptravel has both, which bodes well for the broader Super brand.
The recent boom in eCommerce has spilt over into a marked increase in mobile commerce, too. With Gen Z more likely to shop using mobile, and this demographic maturing into a substantial consumer demographic, Super, with its capital raise of more than $160 million, is poised to lead a bold and lucrative new wave in online shopping.
