• Automate processes where possible
• Ensure compliance to security risks
• Provide operational support and raise alerts to the development team

About you

• 1+ years experience with Docker and container orchestration systems (AWS ECS, Kubernetes)
• Experience with Amazon Web Services strongly recommended (ECS, RDS, IAM, EKS, DynamoDB, Cognito)
• Linux administration experience (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian)
• Experience with CI/CD processes and tools, automated builds, and deployments
• Experience in configuration management (CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform)
• Experience with monitoring tools
• Strong scripting experience
• Clear communication
• BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Nice to have

• These are the things you’re likely to work on, so if you have any experience in the following, great! If you don’t have experience in the following, we still encourage you to apply.
• Proficiency in Python and/or Go.
• Certification in AWS such as Solution Architect or DevOps Engineer.
• Well versed in DNS, Load Balancing, SSL, TCP/IP networking, and security

Our Team and Perks

• We are an open, collaborative, and supportive culture including skill shares, design critiques, and a bi-weekly reading group.
• We believe that employees should be owners, which is why we provide stock option grants for full-time employees.
• We believe in supporting the health and wellbeing of our team, which is why we offer a competitive health benefits package.
• We believe in balance and taking time to rest and recharge, which is why we offer 4 weeks vacation to all full-time employees plus an extra week off at the end of December.
• As a remote-first team, we believe in the importance of having the right setup, which is why we offer a home office budget.
• Learning and development is critical to us, which is why we have a self-directed learning budget.

Our location

Our team is remote-first and fully distributed! We have team members across Canada, the US, Italy, and other locations around the world. This means that we often collaborate asynchronously via Slack and Video Conferencing.
