Description

We have a software empire, and we need someone to make it all run smoothly. Are you a DevOps Architect who can build the infrastructure for our changing and growing assets, making everything run better, more reliably, and more automated every time? If so, we want to hear from you!

We are Avolin. Our cloud solutions revolutionize e-commerce, retail, and customer experience for blue-chip companies worldwide. We’re also one of the world’s largest fully remote organizations. We transform, build, and optimize products on the cloud every day, making the most of AWS’s native capabilities.

In this role, you will dedicate your day to producing optimized infrastructure. We rebuild acquired products into cloud-native applications, and we do this while adding customers, new features, and serving existing customers, so keeping it all running smoothly is a unique challenge. Our portfolio of products covers a range of industries and business problems, making this a big, complex challenge. 

It’s a lot of responsibility - but it’s also an amazing opportunity for professional growth. We hope you join us!

What you will be doing

  • Creating and executing infrastructure as code scripts
  • Planning and executing lift-and-shift projects for newly acquired products
  • Creating runbooks to standardize resolution processes

What you will NOT be doing

  • Executing repetitive tasks - you need to be an expert at task automation
  • Working on things without the overall business goals in mind
  • Leaving anything half-done - you’ll be fixing core infrastructure for a major software company

Key responsibilities

Delivering standardized, high-availability, and cost-optimized infrastructure

Candidate requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent/similar), or equivalent work experience
  • 5+ years of experience, with recent experience in site reliability engineering, DevOps, or similar 
  • Hands-on experience with cloud computing (AWS/GCP/Azure) and virtualization (VMWare, EC2, Docker, Kubernetes, et al.)
  • Basic programming ability in one of our core languages: Python, C++, Java, JavaScript, C# 
  • Ability to set up monitoring and alerting (Nagios, OpsGenie, NewRelic; integration with Jira)
