We value empathy, communication, teamwork, and self-development.
Your daily responsibilities will include:
Providing day-to-day support of Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud-based infrastructure across multiple environments (eg dev, staging, and production)
Supporting various “big data” analytics projects and processes by maintaining and improving internal data processing tools
Automating repetitive administrative tasks and iterating on existing automated processes, including infrastructure provisioning
Maintaining release management tools and processes, supporting the deployment of new application releases and patches
Supporting the Engineering group and other teams by developing, maintaining, and improving internal tools, including Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) infrastructure
Supporting the IT Operations team in monitoring and scaling cloud infrastructure on an “as needed” basis
Supporting cybersecurity initiatives by implementing and maintaining security best practices and assisting in vulnerability mitigation and patch management
Working closely with other teams to coach and develop best practices and process improvements
Writing and maintaining up-to-date documentation on procedures and processes
OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Systems. Equivalent relevant work experience and/or relevant industry-recognized certifications (eg CompTIA A+/Net+/Sec+, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator) are also acceptable
Relevant work experience of 1-2 years
Familiarity with Linux
Familiarity with cloud technologies, especially AWS
Working knowledge of scripting languages, particularly Python and Bash, and an understanding of common software development tools (eg git) and best practices
Knowledge of cybersecurity best practices
Basic understanding of IP networking and related technologies such as DNS, HTTP, and SSL/TLS
Strong communication skills including an ability to write coherently to produce clear, concise documentation
Ability to be a self-starter, to work independently, and to learn on the go
“NICE TO HAVE” (BUT NOT REQUIRED):
Background in Linux systems administration
Intermediate to advanced understanding of network technologies (eg TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, SSH, Load Balancing, SSL/TLS, etc)
Understanding of object-oriented (eg Python, Java, Ruby) programming and concepts
Familiarity with:
Popular AWS services and tools, such as AWS EC2, S3, ECS, RDS, CloudFront, CloudFormation, AWS-managed Elasticsearch, etc
Configuration management technologies such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet
