Infrastructure Engineer

As a Staff Engineer you will simultaneously lead one or two projects, owning them end-to-end. You will work closely with the rest of Platform and Infrastructure org, as well as with the main stakeholders on the development side. This individual will be a hands-on contributor that teaches by example and mentors other engineers and product owners on how to improve their development, using our systems, by driving best practices. We have a lot of independence in our decisions, but we are kept accountable for the results.   
 
Our technical stack: AWS, EKS, Docker, GitHub Enterprise, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, DataDog, Bash and Python. 
  

What You’ll Do   

• Lead projects end-to-end: internal teams rarely have dedicated project managers - you will wear this hat too. You will define the design, identify stakeholders, navigate risks, obstacles and changes, coordinate the work of your colleagues, implement, advertise and overall be the guarantor of the project delivery on time and on quality.   

• Strive to help fellow engineers to develop and deliver their code faster and in a secure way.  

• Coach/mentor engineers on design principles and best practices.  

• Recognize, validate and evangelize emerging technologies and architectures that align with business objectives.  

• Lead by doing and meaningfully contributing to engineering teams’ production operations improvements.  

• Develop tools and automation to manage infrastructure and application configuration via code.  

• Improve the operations, reliability, and stability of our systems

• Bachelors and/or master's in computer science or related field of study   

• 6+ years' experience in software development or a related field   

• 2+ years' experience operating distributed applications 24x7x365, as part of DevOps or SRE team  

• Hands-on experience with designing and implementing infrastructure to support global-scale services   

• Deep hands-on experience with IaaS and PaaS solutions from AWS (or similar cloud provider):   

- Infrastructure as code (Terraform, AWS CLI, AWS CloudFormation)   

- Familiarity with IAM is a plus  

• Hands-on programming and scripting (Python, Java, Bash)   

• Hands-on experience with containers & container orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes  

• Strong communication skills with the ability to understand and explain technical issues to a non-technical audience
