  • 6+ years of experience working with cloud technologies in Production Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, or DevOps equivalent roles

  • Demonstrated experience with infrastructure-as-code principles and development
  • Knowledge of IP networking, DNS, CDN, load balancing, HTTP, and firewalls
  • Experience building and maintaining cloud-first monitoring, logging, and alerting infrastructure that support 24/7 enterprise platforms
  • Participating in on-call rotations
  • Experience with container technology using Docker and Kubernetes
  • The ability to write high quality code in a high level programming language (e.g. Typescript, Ruby, Python)
  • You prefer taking projects from start to finish and are outcome oriented
