Senior DevOps Engineer, Synthesia

• Very practiced in remote and async work. We’re a distributed Product Engineering group
• Bombproof collaboration skills, both interpersonal and through git-based collaboration
• Happy being on-call (1 in 5 rota, 1 week shift, with an escalation path and fallback always available)
• Have experience working through the “scale up” period of a SAAS company
• Be a nice person to work with. We lead through consensus
• Be very practiced in infrastructure as code (we use Terraform + Terragrunt currently)
• Be very practiced with AWS and happy working with AWS ECS, though we are looking to move in stages across to EKS
• Be confident in leading projects which have significant impact cross multiple teams across the organisation
• Finding pragmatic scaling solutions for a product that grows significantly every month which are not just “add more AWS”

Desirable

• You will be working on a mix of what might be referred to as Platform Engineering, SRE, and Developer Experience in other places
• We’re a small team, we work across disciplines
• Platform Engineering: Expanding and supporting our cross-product platform that Product Engineering teams build and run on top of. We aim to get close to “bring the application” with all the rest being batteries included
• SRE: Pairing with and collaborating with Product Engineering teams to help them build, ship, and support services that operate brilliantly, from lightweight architectural conversations through to deep integrations with Datadog and other tooling
• DX: Working with Engineering teams to help them work more efficiently, effectively, and with less frustration, including how they run locally and the path to Production
