Job description

Principal Software Engineer (SRE/DevOps) - Remote

Full-time

Invisible Technologies offers unusual services (a combination of outsourcing and automation) to fast‑scaling, innovative companies. Each company understands and uses our services in a variety of ways. It’s critical we can communicate to segments of users with visually appealing, and highly communicative assets. You’re helping us explain the benefits of our product in a way that words alone never could.

Principal engineers at Invisible are able to follow multiple paths. Some of our Principal engineers are technical leads of teams and are responsible for people management of those teams. They oversee the technical vision for their area and ensure that there is proper mentorship.

Other principal engineers lead through technical initiatives. These engineers oversee broad multi‑team technical initiatives and own parts of our software stack (ex. Principal engineers might research and roll out new technical frameworks or might develop a new generation of our UI component library).

We know that if we have a DevOps team we aren’t practicing DevOps. Both are listed to make it clear that we’re looking for a multi‑position player who’s comfortable with application engineering AND infrastructure.

• Strong understanding of cloud architecture including the major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, etc).
• Understanding of underlying networking and security considerations when developing the architecture of our deployment environments.
• Strong understanding of authentication and authorization frameworks such as IAM, Security Groups, RBAC, etc.
• Experience with Kubernetes and can point to deployments they have architected or managed.
• Strong understanding of the operating model of Kubernetes and can explain the requirements for designing deployments for new applications.
• Ideal candidates would have experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible or Puppet.

We’re always eager to learn and grow and try new technologies.
