Job description

# DevOps & Platform EngineerRun the infrastructure under products that are in use while you are changing them — deployments, monitoring, backups, and the restore you hope stays theoretical.* Melville, New York · Hybrid* Full-time## What the work isBuild and operate the infrastructure our products run on: environments, deployment pipelines, monitoring and alerting, backups, and the restores that prove the backups work. These systems are in use during business hours by businesses that cannot pause, so a maintenance window is negotiated rather than declared and a migration is planned around somebody else’s Friday.The other half is making the work here easier: builds that finish, environments that resemble production, and less ceremony between a merged change and it being live. There is no separate operations team to escalate to at two in the morning — the rotation includes whoever holds this job, and that is part of the offer rather than a footnote.## What we look forPractical experience running production systems on Linux: containers, CI/CD, a cloud provider, and enough PostgreSQL to reason about a slow query and to carry out a restore under time pressure. Infrastructure described in code rather than remembered.Judgement about how much platform a company this size should have. Most of the harm this role can do comes from building an operational surface larger than the people who have to keep it running; the rest comes from postponing the work until an outage decides the priorities instead.## How to applyDescribe an outage you were part of — what broke, how you found it, and what you changed afterwards. The account of the aftermath tells us more than a list of tools.## Apply for this roleWrite to us with what you have built and what you would want to work on here. We read everything and reply either way.Email [e-mail]
