How We Work?

We are split into a few teams each responsible for a given set of technologies. Everyone has assigned at least one such technology which they maintain and improve. There are always several projects running implementing major new features or redesigning current technology stack. We do not have purely operative positions, though handling incidents and requests is a natural part of the job.

We value openness, ability to express own opinion and a desire to improve yourself and the team.

Mission and Goals:

Our goal is to provide platforms for the engineering teams enabling them to deploy, monitor and operate their software as independently as possible. We use a combination of open-source and SaaS technologies stringed together to provide the functionality we need. 

The infrastructure we manage consists of several thousands of servers and VMs located in both data centers and cloud regions around the world and over 100 backend applications providing services to more than 500 million client applications/devices.

This would not be possible without automation and Infrastructure-as-a-Code mindset. Our main tools for this purpose are Puppet, Terraform, Ansible and Python and we try to use them wherever feasible.

The size of the infrastructure and the number of client devices bring many interesting challenges and issues, starting with tuning OS and databases and ending with fighting an apparent DDoS usually caused by misbehaving clients.

• Good working experience with Linux OS (RHEL-based distro).

• Knowledge of TCP/IP protocols.

• Shell scripting.

• Desire to learn new technologies and to solve various technical challenges.

• Positive working attitude, teamwork spirit and communication skills.
