DevOps Engineer

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer **(individual contributor)** to maintain and build upon our next-generation infrastructure. We aim to ensure that our systems are secure, reliable and high-performing by constantly striving to achieve best-in-class infrastructure and security by:

- Leveraging a variety of tools to ensure all configuration is codified (using tools like Terraform and Flux) and applied in a secure, repeatable way (via CI)
- Routinely identifying new technologies and processes that enable us to streamline our operations and improve overall security
- Holistically monitoring our overall DevOps setup and health to ensure our roadmap constantly delivers high-impact improvements
- Eliminating toil by automating as many operational aspects of our day-to-day work as possible using internally created, third party and / or open-source tools
- Maintain a culture of empowerment and self-service by minimizing friction for developers to understand and use our infrastructure through a combination of innovative tools, excellent documentation and team work

**Tech stack**:Microservices primarily written in JavaScript, Kotlin, Scala, and Python. The majority of our infrastructure sits within EKS on AWS, using Istio. We use Terraform and Helm/Flux when working with AWS and EKS (k8s). Deployments are managed with a combination of Jenkins and Flux. We rely heavily on Kafka, Cassandra, Mongo and Postgres and are increasingly leveraging AWS managed services (e.g. RDS, lambda).
