We live by our core values, which aren’t just nice words - they guide us through day-to-day challenges and are the foundation of how we work together. Our pragmatic approach has allowed us to maintain the ability to release updates to our application multiple times a day, even as we add new features to the product and expand our global footprint.

• Continuously improve the security of our infrastructure and our ability to detect and respond to issues.
• Collaborate with and support teams across the organisation, including developers, designers, data engineers, marketers and salespeople, to make a real difference to our customers.

WHAT YOU’LL ACHIEVE

• Operate and evolve our infrastructure to help scale for an ever-growing user base, and support a team developing our increasingly sophisticated SaaS
• Work closely with developers to ensure our application and infrastructure work in harmony, using your expertise and rigour to make sure changes are rolled out safely and smoothly
• Lead initiatives to fortify our security measures and keep our customers’ data secure
• Work with teams across Gearset to deliver infrastructure that supports their impactful work
• Contribute your experience and insight to a collaborative, self-directed team with autonomy over its roadmap and practices

ABOUT YOU

• Have experience running production-level services in Kubernetes and managing and maintaining clusters
• Practical experience automating the management of infrastructure with Terraform
• Experience in the configuration and running of a CI/CD pipeline
• Previous experience supporting the operation of a hosted, multi-tenant SaaS product at scale
