Senior DevOps Engineer

Hi, we’re TechnologyAdvice.

At TechnologyAdvice, we pride ourselves on helping B2B tech buyers manage the complexity and risk of the buying process. We are a trusted source of information for tech buyers, delivering advice and facilitating connections between our buyers and the world’s leading sellers of business technology. 

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, we are a remote-first company with more than 20 digital publications and over 500 global team members in the US, UK, Singapore, Australia, and the Philippines. We’re proud to have been repeatedly recognized as one of America’s fastest growing private companies by Inc., as well as a Tennessee top workplace. We work hard each day and have fun, too, with monthly virtual events, recreational slack channels, and the occasional costumed dance from our CEO.

All positions are open to remote work unless otherwise specified in the requirements below. 

 

The opportunity

Are you looking for a great career with a growing company where you can make an impact and be part of an exciting team? If you are passionate about technology and interested in joining a team of collaborative colleagues who respectfully and courageously seek to challenge the status quo, you’ve found the right place. We are looking for people who enjoy creating tools to automate processes and are passionate about finding solutions to difficult problems.

We are looking for a Senior DevOps engineer to join our team. We have an “always learning” culture driven to improve both as individuals and as a team. We are a Scrum-based Agile team that strives to deliver business value quickly. Our ideal candidate must maintain a high level of ownership and see assignments through to completion.

We containerize and deploy a microservice architecture – with a technology stack that includes languages like Python, PHP, and Vue.js. – using Kubernetes (EKS) on AWS. We use MySQL, Redshift, and Redis for databases and caching. We use GitHub Actions and ArgoCD for our CI/CD pipeline. Do you love IaC? Because we do and use Terraform. 

You will be responsible for service delivery, reliability, scalability, monitoring, and helping define all of this as immutable infrastructure-as-code, just to name a few key responsibilities.

 

What you'll do

• Improve, as well as maintain, processes that utilize containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes to help us standardize and scale systems.
• Help define, document, evolve, and evangelize high engineering standards and best practices across multiple areas.
• Deploy and maintain critical applications on cloud-native microservices architecture.
• Design, implement, and maintain secure automation solutions for various environments.
• Increase the sophistication of our observability and alerting/escalation processes.
• Manage our continuous integration and delivery pipeline to maximize efficiency.
• Implement industry best practices for system hardening / monitoring as well as configuration management.
• Continuously evaluate existing systems for industry standards and make recommendations for improvement.
• Keep up to date on modern technologies and trends, and advocate for their inclusion within products when it makes sense.
• Support the Engineering teams in whatever way possible for them to be successful.
• Help with the day-to-day administration of live production systems to “keep the lights on”.

 

Who you are

• Minimum of 4 years experience working in a DevOps role.
• Strong experience with Linux, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Cloud systems.
• Strong programming skills in one or more scripting languages.
• Experience with either AWS (preferred) or GCP.
• Experience with CI/CD implementation tools and understanding of CI/CD best practices.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and understanding of IaC best practices.
• Ability to learn and apply new technologies through self-learning.
• Ability to retain and protect confidential material.
• Ability to thrive in a reactive environment.
• Excellent time management and planning skills are essential.
• Agile professional who excels in a fast-paced environment and thrives on continuously pivoting strategies to drive business needs forward.
• Previous Software Engineering experience is a plus.
