Who we are looking for
We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer who will help us get the automatization, reliability, & 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 a lot of responsibility at the same time. To give you a brief idea of what challenges are ahead of us, here's a list of issues that we're currently struggling most with:
- Zero infrastructure as a code: when creating a new environment, it needs to be done 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
- Weak monitoring of our services: sometimes it is the customers who report an outage
- Advanced operations with Postgres: moving large datasets, upgrading to new versions without an outage, etc.
Requirements
- You’ve already worked as a DevOps Engineer in your previous job.
- Understanding of modern web applications concepts & development
- Experience with relational databases operation & maintenance (we use mostly Postgres)
- Experience with writing infrastructure as a code
- Experience with setting up and operating monitoring & alerting systems
- Experience with Heroku is a plus
Our tech stack
- Infrastructure: Heroku, Postgres, Redis, S3, Mailgun, Cloud Flare, CircleCI, Sentry, Papertrail, Elastic APM
- Backend: Python, Django, RQ (alternative to Celery)
- Frontend: TypeScript, React
- Tools: Slack, JIRA, Notion, Loom
