Who we are looking for
We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer who will help us bring automation, reliability, and scalability of our infrastructure to the next level. You will be the first DevOps engineer in the team so you will have a lot of freedom in decision-making but at the same time, a lot of responsibility. To give you a brief idea of what challenges are ahead of us, here's a list of issues that we're currently struggling the most with:
- Weak monitoring of our services: sometimes it is the customers who report an outage
- Zero infrastructure as a code: a new environment can only be created manually via dashboards of our infrastructure providers
- No auto-scaling: we're losing money by running resources that we don't need
- A missing status page that our team and customers could rely on
- Advanced Postgres management: moving large datasets, upgrading to new versions without an outage, setting up proper backup strategy are among our needs
- Implementing the Git-Ops approach to our SDLC
- Dockerization of our services: not all of our products are currently dockerized
Requirements
- DevOps working experience
- Understanding of modern web applications concepts & development
- Experience with relational databases operation & maintenance (we mostly use Postgres)
- Experience with writing infrastructure as a code (Terraform)
- Experience with setting up and operating monitoring & alerting systems
Will be a plus
- Experience with Heroku and AWS
- Experience with Elastic products (we use Elastic APM and are interested in expanding the usage of the Elastic stack)
Our tech stack
- Infrastructure: Heroku, Postgres, Redis, Mailgun, Cloud Flare, CircleCI, Sentry, Papertrail, Elastic APM, AWS
- Backend: Python, Django, RQ (alternative to Celery)
- Frontend: TypeScript, React
- Tools: Slack, JIRA, Notion, Loom
