Specific experience with the following tools is not required by any means. We are looking for someone with broad domain knowledge. However, we value transparency, so this is what our world looks like today: * Git for our version control, hosted on GitHub * AWS for hosting, actively using EC2, RDS, CloudFront, Elasticache, Route53, ELBs, Lambda * Java, C#, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript (Vue) for application development * Python utilities for infrastructure glue and automation * ELK for log aggregation; CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and Pingdom for monitoring; OpsGenie for paging * MySQL databases * HashiCorp’s Vault for secret storage * Terraform and CloudFormation for infrastructure, depending on the product * Ansible for resource provisioning with Packer for AMI building Interview Process: 1 Hour One-on-One with DevOps Team (Intro & Tech Questions) Hands on Test Offer Things to Know: We are looking for a developer who is Ops and Infrastructure minded as well.
