About Pryon:

• Work closely with peers to design & code robust scalable, loosely coupled components and micro-services that integrate with both public and private cloud infrastructure, as well as on-prem applications
• Apply architecture and design principles consistently and holistically to enable target end-to-end usage scenarios.
• Provide good focus on DevOps use-cases and workflows
• Work to drive decisions through a crisp decision-making process and framework
• Analyze criteria and options and obtain necessary data to answer key questions

What You'll Need to Be Successful

• Minimum of 3 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 1 year and a Master’s degree; or a Ph.D. without experience; or equivalent work experience
• Basic knowledge of development & deployment across multiple cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMWare and OpenStack
• Coding experience in Golang (Java, Python, or C#background is acceptable)
• Working knowledge of micro-service architectures & large-scale API design and development
• Understanding of service mesh frameworks (Istio), Terraform, container systems (Docker), and orchestration platforms (ECS, Kubernetes, Mesos and/or Swarm)
• Experience in developing solutions using automation tools such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet, System Center
• Working knowledge of Relational and NoSQL databases
• Operating System knowledge of Linux, OS Processes, Threads, Scheduling, Synchronization, Memory Management, and Input/Output device management
• Able to collaborate and thrive in a dynamic high performing environment
• Demonstrated excellence in written and verbal communications
• Participates in cross functional design teams to develop expertise in other modules/systems
• Excellent organizational agility and interpersonal skills
