DevOps Engineer

Reporting to the Head of Engineer and sitting in a DevOps team of two, you’ll collaborate with our Solutions Architect in developing the next generation of our cloud-based infrastructure while sunsetting legacy technology and systems. The DevOps team works closely with the Backend team in managing our AWS environment with the goal of efficiently serving our growing international audience across multiple products and platforms (desktop, iOS, and Android). This includes both traditional EC2 hosted platforms as well as our next generation of serverless APIs.

This is a highly visible and dynamic role since you’ll be contributing at every level including system design, database and systems administration, OS and application testing, monitoring, automation, and infrastructure and network support. This role is responsible for maintaining our infrastructure as code via CI/CD pipelines across various applications.

Our DevOps team is also responsible for tier-1 support which will be required on an as needed basis to help support our hybrid office. This includes new hire setups, account management, and office networking.

This role will be part of an on-call rotation schedule to support our infrastructure.
