What is a DevOps Engineer at SOLUTE?
DevOps engineers at SOLUTE are effective problem solvers that focus on automating manual processes and improving the overall software development cycle. We develop against a large variety of systems depending on our Customers’ requirements and enable them for future success through well-built CI/CD pipelines. Since our focus is on enablement and transition to our customer environments, we do not have after hours or on call SRE support. Our DevOps engineers come from a variety of backgrounds including systems engineering, software engineering, and system administration.
Why would you want to work at SOLUTE?
SOLUTE seeks out opportunities that allow our engineers to work with modern and innovative technologies on impactful projects. Our solutions are built for use in mission critical systems and are often subject to interesting and challenging constraints.
