• Ensure build, test and deployment processes are easy to maintain, fast, and reliable.

• Ensure engineers' local development experience is performant and user-friendly.

• Provide self-service monitoring and observability tools that are easy to use.

• Scope and secure administrative applications used across the organization.

• Support engineering-wide processes by providing tools and clear documentation.

• Provide on-call support in a rotation schedule with your peers.

What You Bring to the Table

• CI/CD and Automation: Proficiency in CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or similar.

• Infrastructure and Cloud Platforms: Experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS. Knowledge of infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible. Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Performance Optimization: Skills in optimizing build and test pipelines to improve efficiency. Ability to diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks in applications and infrastructure.

• Monitoring and Observability: Experience with monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus). Understanding of logging and observability tools (e.g., ELK Stack, Splunk).

You might be a fit if you have:

• Genuine collaboration. We recognize and explicitly reward feedback, alignment, and learning from each other.

• Managers as advocates. You’ll report to leaders invested in your growth and promotion, not just their own. Managers only succeed when their teams thrive.

• Outcomes over output. We value finding ways to do more with less, working smart instead of burning out.

• Product ownership. Engineers are owners, not mercenaries. Everyone plays a role in discovering, advocating for, and implementing ideas.

• Technical quality. We work collaboratively to ensure great outcomes without sacrificing quality. Sustainable development is a first-class priority.
