Description:

Software Developer

The team works with product engineers, release engineers, operators, and security analysts to balance considerations such as speed of deployments, ease of use by operators, resiliency and recoverability, and audit trails.

We are looking for a software developer with strong Python experience automating a variety of layers from application software to operating systems (including virtualization/containerization) to deployment orchestration tools (Puppet, Ansible, Terraform).

The ideal candidate should understand basic computer science fundamentals and software design patterns. They should also have an avid appreciation for hands-on tinkering under the hood, problem-solving with automation, and designing task-specific tools. They should be able to articulate the design constraints they have previously faced in delivering large-scale solutions, and how their implementation maintained the balance.

The candidate will be involved in all aspects of software delivery, including ideation, design, implementation, deployment, promotion, and customer support. This will include cross-team collaboration with Engineering, Security, and Operations. We expect the candidate to take full ownership of the improvements and be ready to communicate with multiple engineering teams, proactively identifying, prioritizing, and solving their common issues.
