Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

We know you're wanted and stalked by recruiters on LinkedIn, so let's not waste your time and get to the gist of it. We are looking to grow our small Cloud Infrastructure team (short: ops) from three to four people. We are fully remote. We maintain 12+ Kubernetes clusters on Google Cloud Platform. Our infrastructure spans 400 (primarily short-lived) VMs. We build our infrastructure to last by applying best practices and modern technologies and keeping our tech debt under control. We're a lean ops team looking at scaling to 50+ or even 100+ clusters in the mid-term future. Infrastructure is maintained in Terraform, stateless workloads are in Kubernetes, stateful workloads are currently on VMs managed with Chef. Besides keeping Silverfin running and scalable across multiple regions, we also make sure other teams can leverage our infrastructure through self-service. ## Requirements We are looking for people skilled in the following areas: * Your work hours have some overlap with EU business hours (we require your local timezone to be within CET +/-3h) * Soft skills (aka, the real hard skills) * Someone with devops affinity (as in collaborating with dev and other teams) * A Linux expert * Infrastructure as Code * Configuration Management * Kubernetes / containers * CI/CD * Fluent in at least one development language (scripting is OK) * You are able to work and communicate asynchronously (we have no bus factor in our team!) * Security-minded * DBA or PostgreSQL expert is a plus * Experience with Ruby (on Rails) is a plus Don't worry, we don't expect you to perfectly check all the boxes.
