DevOps Engineer

Job Summary

**Spot by NetApp® is looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer 
 
**Spot by NetApp® is the undoubtable unicorn of the Cloud world. At the forefront of FinOps innovation since 2014 - (before the word “FinOps” existed!), Spot provides optimization and automation technologies that help cloud consumers improve performance, reduce complexity, and optimize costs. We use advanced cloud-first technologies to deliver results for customers (up to 90% savings on compute and storage infrastructure!) By continuously optimizing cloud infrastructure to always be highly available and for the lowest possible cost, we revolutionize the way businesses manage their cloud. Spot is a fast-paced startup which operates within NetApp and enjoys all perks & benefits of a large-scale organization while maintaining the startup culture, mentality and pace. 
 
Spot Eco is the foundational product in the Spot suite of tools. Eco helps customers manage and optimize their cloud commitments (Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, Committed Use Discounts) while also helping customers manage their cloud environments – cross organizations or customers of customers – with billing and best practices. We currently support AWS and Azure, with GCP support in development. Cloud commitments are relevant to almost all cloud customers, but managing commitments can be complex, time-consuming, and risky. At Eco, our goal is to maximize the savings our customers achieve while keeping commitment “risk” to a minimum. And we do that while allowing our customers’ engineering, operations, and FinOps teams to refocus their time on what they do best.  

As a DevOps Engineer, you will be working with multiple teams to develop and support build and release automation pipelines and deploy applications in a cloud infrastructure. Utilizing your experience, you will design, deploy and maintain multi-platform products and work with multiple stakeholders to understand requirements delivering clean solutions based on their requirements and cost efficiency. 
 
At Spot Eco, we don’t rely on just one or two one-size-fits-all approaches; you’ll learn and practice advanced commitment management techniques utilizing every cloud commitment product available. You’ll join a fast-growing team of engineers who dive deep into the most esoteric vagaries of cloud operations. You’ll work with some of the most innovative organizations in the world; you’ll learn constantly; you’ll get exposed to new technologies as they emerge; and you’ll help Spot perfect the craft of FinOps.
