As a Software Engineer, you take ownership of projects, learn, and work collaboratively with your colleagues. You constantly design, test, evolve and evaluate the nuts and bolts of our operation while offering a creative and analytical approach.
As an infrastructure specialist, you’re passionate about empowering resilience of running systems, rapidly delivering capabilities to the end consumers, reducing costs, and accelerating innovation – primarily through automation of tasks and processes. You love to simultaneously roll-up your developer sleeves and put on your operator’s hat to ensure service availability, scalability, and resilience.
We believe that DevSecOps is a practice and not a role, and you’ll play a key role in establishing and nurturing the DevOps and InfoSec culture within the engineering team.
What you’ll be doing
• Ensure that our applications and environments are stable, scalable, secure and performing as expected.
• Proactively engage and work in alignment with cross-functional colleagues to understand their requirements, contributing to and providing suitable supporting solutions.
• Develop and introduce systems to aid and facilitate rapid growth including implementation of deployment policies, designing and implementing new procedures, configuration management and planning of patches and for capacity upgrades
• Observability: ensure suitable levels of monitoring and alerting are in place to keep engineers aware of issues.
• Establish runbooks and procedures to keep outages to a minimum. Jump in before users notice that things are off track, then automate it for the future.
• Automate everything so that nothing is ever done manually in production.
• Identify and mitigate reliability and security risks. Make sure we are prepared for peak times, DDoS attacks and fat fingers.
• Troubleshoot issues across the whole stack - hardware, software, applications and network.
• Manage individual project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables as part of a self-organizing team.
• Learn and unlearn every day by exchanging knowledge and new insights, conducting constructive code reviews, and participating in retrospectives.
You Must Have
• 1+ years extensive experience of Linux server administration include patching, packaging (rpm), performance tuning, networking, user management, and security.
