Job description

We create possibilities that move life and commerce forward

Welcome to Manhattan. Every day, our supply chain commerce technology connects two billion people to 20 billion consumer choices. In the warehouse, on the road and in the store, we make what was once impossible, possible. If you want to tackle complex problems and redefine markets, you’ve come to the right place.

What kinds of things would I be working on?

Our team runs the Manhattan Government Cloud environment, supporting federal emergency response logistics and providing groceries to military service members stationed around the world. Our Cloud Operations Engineers are responsible for all parts of the cloud environment. We provide enterprise level applications and all the supporting infrastructure – so there is a wide variety of responsibilities. Here are some examples of items you may work on in the first couple of years:

• Work with AWS engineers to research and implement a new AWS service to replace an existing process or add a new capability.

• Determine ways to further harden the environment by limiting access or reducing the blast radius from attacks or critical failures.

• Work with our customers to establish or troubleshoot connectivity between our environment, data centers, and suppliers.

• Develop a proof of concept using Docker containerization and Amazon EKS for a process currently running on a Linux endpoint.

• Go deep on complex enterprise tooling like Splunk, Tenable, or Palo Alto to automate, configure, and administer for our environment.

• Perform data analysis, visualization, and log aggregation.

• Provide Tier 3 production support to diagnose and resolve critical issues impacting our customers.

• Write Terraform and Ansible scripts to automate cloud infrastructure deployment and configuration.

• Analyze resource usage for cost saving opportunities.

• Create custom dashboards, reports, and alerts to proactively notify our NOC of production issues.

• AWS certifications such as: Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, Security, and Advanced Networking.

• Scripting and automation: Python, bash, Ansible, Terraform, AWS CLI, Docker, and container orchestration like Kubernetes

What’s next for my Career?

• Technical management – coordinate with internal and customer resources for new implementations and production operations
