- Assist in troubleshooting infrastructure-related issues that come up "in the wild"
- Design and develop our internal infrastructure services using Terraform, GitHub Actions, python, and bash
- Exercise your own judgment (along with support from teammates) to architect and implement robust, secure, and maintainable solutions
What you should have:
- Over five years of experience in development, infrastructure, and/or systems administration
- Over two years of experience working with container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
