Job responsibilities
- Creating well engineered observability solutions for the public cloud will require the successful candidate to develop their knowledge of the major public cloud platforms, initially Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Build opinionated, pre-configured tools that can remove friction for other engineering teams.
- Build up understanding of the SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) mindset to help you design tools that meet the needs of this community. Understanding how to build it and run it is important.
- Software design, development and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or break down technical problems
- Identifies hidden problems and patterns in data and uses these insights to drive improvements to coding hygiene and system architecture
- Contributes to software engineering communities of practice and events that explore new and emerging technologies
- Adds to team culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect
- Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts
- Hands-on practical experience in systems design, application development, testing, and operational stability. Some experience of leading the design of a simple component
- Proficient in coding in one or more languages, preferably Java
- Demonstrated knowledge of software applications and technical processes within a technical discipline (e.g., cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, mobile, etc.)
- A strong desire to focus on continuous learning and experience new technologies
- The candidate will be able to demonstrate experience of working in an agile team using a methodology such as scrum.
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- The candidate will have a good all-round understanding of AWS fundamentals such as compute, networking, storage, security policies and how to build & deploy applications into that eco-system
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Exposure to cloud automation technologies such as Terraform
- Areas of particular interest would be observability tooling: CloudWatch as well as tooling such as CloudTrails, X-Ray and Identity and Access Management (IAM).
- Enjoys presenting to other engineers on proposed designs and approaches
- Can demonstrate how to build secure applications, using tools to identify and remediate vulnerabilities and use modern techniques to control access to applications and APIs
