You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, solve challenging problems, and contribute to the foundation of our infrastructure. This role requires a strong technical background, a passion for automation, and a collaborative mindset.

This role involves collaborating with teams across multiple locations and time zones. You will need to be adept at communicating effectively and building strong relationships with colleagues in diverse locations.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain core public cloud platform components, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and application deployments using tools like Terraform and ArgoCD.
• Provide investigative support for platform-related issues, working closely with development teams to resolve problems.
• Implement and maintain security for the platform, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
• Build and maintain comprehensive documentation for platform components and processes.
• Champion automation of manual processes and reduction of operational overhead
• Collaborate effectively with other engineers, development teams, and partners across multiple locations and time zones.

About You

Basic Qualifications:

• 2+ year experience in software engineering or DevOps, with a focus on infrastructure and platform development.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we're combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
