DevOps Engineer
You love to see the right technologies and tools enable a company’s services to run efficiently and without disruption. You understand how good automation can be a force-multiplier for an organization’s throughput and error prevention, and how usable security can empower the development team and fortify the organization’s defenses. You enjoy helping build systems and infrastructure where people can help themselves instead of constantly shouting your name for help, but you’re ready to jump at the harder problems that need a human touch.
We are a small, smart, and fun team backed by top VC firms. Our two founders, Karl Jacob and Allan Carroll, are serial entrepreneurs whose companies have helped millions of consumers from protecting them from spam to communicating with family members. Karl has raised 23 rounds of financing, created 6 companies from scratch and built products and companies that impact 10s of millions of people. Now we are helping consumers with the largest financial transaction of their lives and making sure they don't get a bad loan that costs them money and financial security.
Your job will be to support our customer- and internal-facing services, automate everything in sight, and work with the team to implement technologies and ideas that improve the company’s products and performance. We're a small team, so you'll also be called on to assist with new employees, various troubleshooting, and whatever else gets thrown our way as we grow.
You're good at:
- Communication! You can speak as comfortably to non-technical employees as the developers, and you know the difference in styles.
- On call response and triage, rotating on call duties with team members and quickly coordinating and facilitating resolution of issues that crop up.
- Recognizing scenarios where automation needs to be added to increase uptime, self-healing, scaling, and reduce risk of human error.
- Accepting new challenges and adapting quickly.
Job Requirements
- Experience with Cloud Providers: GCP and/or AWS
- Infrastructure and Release Automation Tools: Hashicorp Terraform & Vault, or similar
- Programming Languages: Python and Shell Scripting
- CI & CD: Travis, Spinnaker, Concourse or similar
- Experience with Agile development practices
Extra Credit:
- You can present on a system you’ve built/automated, in detail, using a cloud provider and related tools.
- You have experience working with common open source applications like nginx, mysql, rabbitmq, and redis
- You have a passion for something outside the office
