DevOps Engineer

About You

You love the DevOps discipline.
You feel comfortable designing and building things from scratch.
You are diverse - you thrive in an environment where requirements change quickly, allowing you to rapidly learn more technologies, frameworks, and tools.
You can juggle between coding a Groovy script, configuring SSL termination, and hacking a Kubernetes manifest without breaking a sweat.
You are an infrastructure-as-code die-hard. If your Jenkins pipelines, Dockerfile, or AWS configuration aren’t committed in git, you can’t quietly fall asleep at night.
You have a troubleshooting mentality and a general coolness - when things go south in production (and they always do), you know your way around.
You strive to build tools and services that will enable engineering teams to work autonomously.
You’re a dedicated person who can be counted on as a core team member.
