You match the following Gridmatic's candidate preferences

Employers are more likely to interview you if you match these preferences:

Degree
Experience
Requirements
  • 3+ years of software engineering
  • A proven track record of building and shipping production-grade software (i.e. with a focus on reliability, performance, scale, managing distributed systems, etc.)
  • Solid programming experience: you’ll work mostly in Python and Go, but we care more about your general engineering skills than your knowledge of a specific language.
  • Working familiarity with major cloud providers, such as GCP, Azure, or AWS (we primarily use GCP, so that particular experience would be a bonus)
  • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform, Pulumi, or Amazon Cloud Formation
  • Have experience with owning the full lifecycle of software, from design, test, deployment, and production support
Responsibilities
  • Building new API services to grow our uniquely challenging gridscale battery capabilities
  • Writing infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform) to harden and scale our cloud environment - this is a work progress for us, and we’d love your help and skills to get from 50% to 90%
  • Observability: we're just starting on this as a focus, and there's a huge opportunity for growth as we try to uplevel everything all at once (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting, even security-focused goals like detection and response)
  • Creating internal tooling to support our production environment and help enable our engineers to write more performant software with ease with new libraries
Desired Qualifications
  • Managing Linux/Unix-based systems
  • Containerization: Kubernetes (GKE, EKS, AKS), ECS, cloudrun, docker, podman
  • CI/CD Build pipelines and release processes
  • IoT or On Premise Devices
  • An interest in security, reliability, and operations
