We’ve built tools to manage containers at scale and a massive multi-tenant distributed file system, contributed to open source communities (WordPress, Drupal, Fedora, Chef, systemd, cURL, Kubernetes, Terraform, to name a few), a CI/CD pipeline, and a cloud-native container-based infrastructure orchestrated with Kubernetes. If you have experience with any of these technologies, that's great and if not, that's okay too. Our engineering team is filled with experienced engineers who are happy to help open-minded candidates learn on the job, regardless of their background.

• Administering and maintaining standardization and configuration state management with Docker/Kubernetes, Chef, Terraform, and Vault.
• Close collaboration with the wider engineering team to both deliver platform improvements and provide subject-matter-expertise for other technical initiatives.
• Owning your team’s production systems, measure and track their health with SLOs, and assist our dedicated support team to resolve production issues.
• Continuous improvements to our standard of engineering excellence by implementing best practices for coding, testing, deploying and communication.
• 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

• 2+ years working on high-traffic or complex distributed systems.
• 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
• Working knowledge of Chef, CircleCI, or Vault.
• Working knowledge of Wordpress or Drupal.
• On-Call Experience supporting customer-facing services in Production.
• Coding experience as part of a large team or large product (beyond simple scripts).
• Work-related experience with large-scale, high-traffic platforms.
• Work-related experience with designing scalable and robust services in the real world.
• Experience participating in system design, platform management, and capacity planning.
• Experience creating sustainable systems and services through automation and uplifts.
