About Pantheon

Pantheon is the WebOps platform for websites that deliver extraordinary results. We believe in putting the magic of the internet in everyone’s hands.

• Supporting Pantheon as a member of the on-call engineer rotation, contributing to the infrastructure’s stability, reliability, and performance that drives Pantheon\'s success.
• Supporting and meeting with Pantheon customers, as needed, to ensure their success as well as ours.

What You Need to Succeed

• Work experience developing with either Golang (preferred) or Python.
• Working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
• Work experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong understanding of LEMP stack administration (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP).
• Clear communication skills and the ability to represent your contributions and ideas with clarity while remaining open and giving space to the contributions and ideas of others.

Bonus Points

• Working knowledge of Cassandra, Redis, Solr, or ElasticSearch
