Senior DevOps Engineer

Summary

Join InfluxData's team as a Site Reliability Engineer and leverage your Linux ops and teamwork skills to maintain and extend foundational technologies. You will design, implement, and operate large-scale, multi-cloud Kubernetes infrastructure using GitOps methodology. The ideal candidate possesses production-level experience with Kubernetes and related technologies, Terraform, and DevOps patterns across various cloud providers. You will be a vocal team participant, adept at troubleshooting, and willing to participate in pager rotation. Bonus points for experience in SaaS environments, incident command, CI/CD, and automation. InfluxData offers a remote-first environment and excellent benefits.

Requirements

• Production-level experience with Kubernetes and surrounding ecosystems (e.g., Istio, Vault, and other Cloud Native technologies) in production environments
• Terraform and other automation tooling to make life more predictable: you’ve taken manual processes and automated them, or taken automated processes and refined them
• Hands-on experience with production workloads within managed and self-managed Kubernetes platforms as well as more general DevOps patterns (e.g., compute, storage, database, network) inside one or more of the cloud providers we use: AWS, Google, Azure

Responsibilities

• Maintain and extend foundational technologies to provide highly available, distributed services to customers
• Design, implement, and operate large scale, multi-cloud Kubernetes infrastructure driven by GitOps methodology
• Design and implement with respect and kindness across multiple engineering teams

• Willingness to participate in a low-volume pager rotation and serve as a subject matter expert on many areas of Kubernetes and general infrastructure and operational principles
• Methodical troubleshooting: You’re able to work through complex issues both individually and as part of a team

Preferred Qualifications

• Working in a role maintaining and operating a SAAS environment
• Being an incident commander, engaging multiple groups simultaneously to resolve critical problems
• CI/CD experience. We use CircleCI and GitHub Actions, but understanding methodology is more important than using the same vendors
• Automating All the Things with great success (or, if not, how you learned from the experience)
• Thriving in a remote-first, distributed team environment
• Working with, or on, applications written using Go and/or Rust
