Description

Are you tired juggling changing instructions from multiple stakeholders, or putting down fires for the same product and using the same technology every day? Join us to supercharge your career by building efficient and stable infrastructure for a portfolio of cloud native products.

At Trilogy, we believe investing in a high-performing infrastructure team is the foundation of software development. We take our veteran DevOps problem solvers out of their single-product silo and streamline routine tasks so that they can contribute to automating, monitoring and maintaining our standardized infrastructure.

We treasure every piece of your technical expertise. Whether you have worked with Oracle, MS SQL, Postgres or mySQL., whether you prefer fast-paced lift & shift cloud migrations or stable DB administration, we want you to have an impact in our organization.

With a 100% remote work model perfected over 20 years, we are proud to invite you to our engineering organization that is designed for the future of work.

What you will be doing

  • Learning new technologies to evaluate their potential to simplify our infrastructure, improve availability and reduce costs
  • Migrating non-standard components to our standardized infrastructure
  • Monitoring and maintaining dockerized containers and databases

What you will NOT be doing

  • Focusing on a single product or being stuck with the same set of technologies
  • Responding to incident tickets or handling system admin tasks
  • Building customized infrastructure solutions that add complexity

Key responsibilities

  • Deliver standardized, high-availability, cost-optimized infrastructure
  • Plan and execute lift and shift projects for newly acquired products

Candidate requirements

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with Linux and AWS Services
  • Ability to use infrastructure configuration management, deployment, and versioning tools
  • Ability to deploy and configure infrastructure for virtual machines (VMWare) and to pack applications into containers and deploy them (Docker/Kubernetes)
  • A university degree requiring an in-depth study of data structures, algorithms, object-oriented programming, computer architecture, and software engineering OR equivalent experience

About the role

About Crossover

What you will learn

If you work in site reliability engineering, you may think the best you can hope for is to land a role with a 50/50 split between support work and automation coding projects. After all, that is the industry standard. Never a company to play follow-the-leader, we designed a better, more purposeful role that is 90% dedicated to proactive IaC projects.

Our job design for site reliability engineering is critical to support our goal of acquiring one software company per week. Every day requires you to dig into new technologies running across thousands of servers and deliver simplified, high availability, cost-optimized infrastructure. And due to the size of our partnership with Amazon, you'll have the opportunity to beta-test and experiment with new AWS services. You will learn to work on a different product every week and write code for our growing infrastructure supporting 100+ products, applying your impact on a scale at a global organization.
