A software engineer with a curiosity for operations, or an operations engineer that wants to work closely with software engineers to help glue infrastructure and software together.
Apply software engineering and SRE principles while leveraging infrastructure automation tools to build, maintain, monitor and operate complex infrastructure.
You understand scalable web architectures and cloud technologies.
Someone who loves to code, and you enjoy working in multiple programming languages. We primarily work with Golang, Python, Ruby and Scala.
You drive issues to completion, marshaling resources in high-pressure situations.

Who you are:

An excellent communicator, who works well with geographically distributed teams such as ours (we are split between Austin, Kyiv, San Francisco, Sydney and remote).
You’re obsessive compulsive, in a good way. Your systems and scripts are clean, well-documented and comprehensible.
You have a passion for learning when it comes to working with new technologies or languages.
Experience with UNIX systems administration, including solid scripting skills in Python, Ruby, PHP or Bash.
Experience running Docker with some kind of orchestration system such as Nomad (we use Nomad), Kubernetes, or Amazon ECS.
Knowledge of configuration management systems such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet (we use Puppet).
