As an Operations Engineer, your work will support a platform used by millions of people every month. You’ll work closely with a team of talented individuals to ship the best possible product while having a lot of ownership over your projects.
Our stack includes AWS, Chef, DataDog, CircleCI, PagerDuty, PHP7, MySQL, Memcached, ElasticSearch. We work with Ruby and Python for automating infrastructure. Experience in each of these technologies is preferred (especially the fundamentals of AWS and Chef), but it is certainly not required to have experience with every component.

- Providing observability into applications and infrastructure through metrics, logging, and monitoring to ensure platform uptime.
- Ensuring ongoing availability, performance, security, and scalability of infrastructure components.
- Taking ownership of your work. Whether it's a nasty bug or an awesome feature, you put your name on every line of code.
- Being part of a rotating team of on-call engineers to provide 24/7 support for critical systems.

- Familiar with our tech stack. This includes AWS, Chef, PHP7, MySQL, Memcached, ElasticSearch. We’re looking for at least 3 years of experience in a growing engineering organization.
- Knowledgeable about building large-scale technology and applications that are reliable, scalable, secure, and highly performant using industry best practices.
- A strong communicator. You can communicate in writing and verbally with clarity and precision.
- Excited to grow. You love learning things and know the value of feedback and facing new challenges.

- Curious. With the support of the team, you want to see the bigger picture as an engineer.
