Qualifications

• You should have experience with architecture, deployments, and networking in one or more of the major industry vendors.
• You have operational experience at scale.
• You have had hands-on roles that deal with operating systems (particularly Linux) and networking.
• You might also have worked with Cloud technologies.
• Your previous job titles might be something close to systems admin, network engineer or devops engineer.
• You have some development skills. We have code in several languages, ranging from Python and Shell to Go and C++. We don’t expect you to be a software engineer but you should be familiar with basic programming and understand concepts like input sanitisation and unit testing.

Desirable Characteristics

• You love large complex systems.
• Experience in working on distributed systems or a passion for finding edge cases that appear at scale.
• You are interested in how to bring something from a small one off task to how to implement it across several thousand machines at once.
• Data drives your decisions. Data excites you and you make decisions based on numbers rather than assumptions.
• If an issue arises, you strive to be alerted before our customers notice.
• You care about monitoring.
• Shipping code often and getting useful feedback excites you and you’re not worried about changing direction when a solution isn’t working as expected.
• “How can I automate this process?” is a question you constantly ask yourself.

What We Provide

• Opportunities to develop and grow as an engineer.
• We are always expanding into new areas, working with open-source projects and contributing back, and exploring new technologies.
• A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
• Balance. We don’t expect people to work 12 hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too.
• We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
