What You'll Do Here:
As a DevOps Engineer your role is hands on, you will be writing
lots of automation tooling and soliciting feedback and listening to
your users (the engineering teams). You are going to help us with
building out a fully automated build, publish, and deployment
pipeline and runtime. We do not believe in Greenfield of Dreams
(build it, and they will come). Evangelism is a key part of this
process.
Collaborate with operations and engineers to understand needs to
help safely, reliably, and repeatably move software faster.
Operate, update, and maintain our build, publish and deployment
pipelines and tools along with our runtime environments.
Help define processes to streamline the pipeline process.
Develop and maintain internal applications written in Java and
Python.
Document the tools/processes to help in understanding, knowledge
sharing, and onboarding to the tool/process.
Assist teams in identifying and mitigating of build, publish, or
runtime issues.
Collaborate with multi-functional roles to communicate and align
development efforts with Operations Roadmap.
Work with teams to understand and implement best practices in
AWS.
Assist in onboarding to our tools such as Splunk, DynaTrace, Vault,
Artifactory, etc.
Assist in tool and technology evaluations.
Skills You Will Need Here:
Minimum 5+ years of development experience.
Understand code design principles and how to write clean code.
Basic AWS knowledge to maintain our multiple AWS services to
guarantee high availability for production environments.
Good interpersonal communication skills and ability to work well in
a diverse, team-focused environment with other Engineers, Product
Managers, etc.
Will be required to document Infrastructure and Security
systems.
Will be a plus if experienced with:
Utilization of Infrastructure as code using tools like Terraform
(preferred), Ansible and/or CloudFormation.
Experience with application clustering/load balancing concepts and
technologies.
Experience with Cloud Foundry (strongly recommended), docker, and
Kubernetes.
Experience with Maven, Spring Boot, and other Java build tools.
Experience with CI/CD toolsets and methodologies like Concourse,
Spinnaker and/or Jenkins.
Experience extending Jenkins via Groovy and Python pipelines.
Familiarity with Linux, MacOS, and Windows as development and
deployment platforms.
Experience with relational databases like MySQL, Postgres, MariaDB,
and Aurora.
Ability to promote Test Driven Development and popular software
development lifecycle practices.
Experience with networking.
Preferred - Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field,
or equivalent combination of education and recent, relevant work
experience.
Our team strongly values:
Having an opinion and being able to verbally convey that
opinion.
Interpersonal skills are just as important as technical experience
and skill.
Thinking about and treating our engineering partners as users. This
means building out wiki pages, sample implementations, SDKs that
make sense, and helping our partners implement what we create.
The ability to make a decision, popular or not, and back it up with
clearly articulated rationale.
Realistic, pragmatic approaches to solving problems. Academic
excellence that doesn't actually ship, or worse yet, is never
adopted is just wasted time.
Meeting our engineering teams where they are. We see these as
opportunities to upskill our partners and to help them achieve
their goals.
