We are looking for a talented engineer to join our infrastructure team.  The infrastructure team is responsible for architecting and developing the base cloud infrastructure layer needed to run our data and application platform. In addition, this team builds internal applications and tools to improve efficiency, automation, and system monitoring for our continuous delivery pipeline. DevOps works closely with the application development engineers to ensure that the end product is a high-performing, highly available, and secure platform that our customers trust.
 
The opportunity for this engineer is to take their many years of experience and apply that in a way that will define how we think about development operations, deployments, monitoring, and application infrastructure.  This individual will help define the roadmap and drive work that will help engineers be more productive, code deployments to be safer, and ultimately drive the strategic success here.
