  • Evolve our CI/CD infrastructure (CircleCI, GitHub Actions) and scale our monorepo to meet the needs of rapid product development
  • Promote observability across all systems (DataDog, SumoLogic, etc.)
  • Partner with Product Engineering to understand and improve our development process and tooling
  • Develop frameworks, APIs, and libraries to support and enable our fullstack developers (Typescript/Python3) and data analysts (DBT/SQL, Python3, Jenkins/Groovy)
  • Partner with our Analytics team to maintain and evolve our modern data stack as necessary (Looker, Redshift, DBT, Stitch)
  • Build and manage robust automation and data ingestion systems (Jenkins, Kubernetes, AWS Glue, Batch, Lambda, etc.)
  • Define and deliver on roadmaps for medium- to long-term projects that continuously improve our infrastructure and products.
  • Help oversee the security of our systems and data.
  • Inform major design, architecture, and capacity planning decisions for the engineering team by applying a seasoned systems perspective.
  • Enforce best practices and promote testability, quality, security, and maintainability throughout our systems and codebases.
  • Evangelize simplicity and continuous improvement. Lead by example in all work you deliver.

Relevant Experience
  • Three or more years of professional software development experience preferably in an infrastructure-heavy role (SRE, DevOps Engineer, etc.)
  • Fluency in at least one programming language (you’ll work in Python, Bash, and others)
  • Comfortable with Unix and in the shell
  • Deep knowledge of Docker and cloud technologies
  • Experience designing, deploying, and managing cloud infrastructure
  • Excellent problem solving and debugging skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey complicated systems to both technical and non-technical audiences

Nice to have
  • Experience with infrastructure as code tools (Ansible, Terraform, etc)
  • Experience with automation and scheduling infrastructure (e.g. Jenkins, Kubernetes, Airflow, Prefect, Luigi, AWS Glue, Batch, Lambda, etc.)
  • Experience working in a regulated environment (Healthcare, Finance, etc.)
  • B.S. in Computer Science or related field
