Description:
The Engineering team is focused on producing software that solves the most important problems facing digital forensics professionals today. Our algorithms make sense of data that is often hidden, corrupted, or incomplete. We write well-tested, performant code and build intuitive UIs because we know that minutes can make a difference in national terrorism cases and life-or-death situations. We are a community of smart, passionate, humble people who recognize that solving the industry’s toughest problems requires constant collaboration, continuous learning, and frequent doses of humour – come prepared for emojis, GIFs, and questionable Photoshop skills.
The Site Reliability Engineer will be an influential member of one of Magnet’s upcoming cloud- offering product teams. You will be a trailblazer in this space at Magnet, establishing DevOps patterns to be followed by current and future teams, and you will set the standard of excellence for how to operate and maintain SaaS products.
What You Will Accomplish
-
- Design and implement your team’s cloud deployment strategy, from architecture guidance to monitoring and troubleshooting production applications
- Ensure repeatable and auditable deployments via Infrastructure as Code solutions, and coach your team through change implementation
- Help your team provide value to customers as soon as new features and bug fixes are ready, by creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that automatically deploy code changes to staging environments, and, once tested, promote to production
- Assist your team with achieving optimal application performance while keeping costs as low as possible
- Architect and shepherd performant, lean, thorough test suites, to make sure minimal issues escape to production
- Work with other Magnet teams to assert that your team’s application is highly secure, helping to fix critical vulnerabilities as they’re discovered
- Use your influence to provide thought leadership, support, and coaching within your immediate team and across Engineering
What We Are Looking For
-
- We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in “skills and experiences”. It’s more important to us to find candidates who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experiences they have been a part of, than to find folks who have “been there, done that”. We want to be part of your development journey, and we’ll learn as much from you as you learn from us.
There are a few must-haves, but we will keep that list short:- Bachelor’s degree in a Computer Science related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Significant experience with cloud-scale development and operations, using one or more major cloud providers. Certifications to back it up are a bonus!
- Significant experience implementing CI/CD pipelines, ideally for SaaS products
In addition, may have some of the following skills and experiences:- Experience working with one or more general-purpose programming languages (e.g. C#, Python, JavaScript)
- Experience troubleshooting production issues by leveraging logging and monitoring tools (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana)
- Experience with performance and cost optimization of cloud infrastructure
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform)
- Experience with distributed systems and microservice architectures
- Experience implementing secure cloud solutions
- Experience writing and maintaining automated test suites at various levels of abstraction
- Experience with the rest of our tech stack and tools: ASP.NET Core, ElasticSearch, MySQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Bash, Git, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, JIRA, Slack
- Aptitude and interest in learning new technologies
- Effectiveness at getting the right thing done
- Prioritizing team collaboration and success
- Practical leadership experience (regardless of title)
