CloudOps Engineer

First and foremost, you are an engineer. You are intimately familiar with designing and building cloud-native infrastructure following industry best-practices, especially when it comes to security. You are keen on automation and dislike repetitive tasks. You are not satisfied and will continually iterate on something until you feel it is done the right way. You are someone that has an ownership mentality and tries to always leave something in a better state than the way they found it. You have an insatiable curiosity and always ask: Why? You thrive in a work environment that requires strong problem solving skills and independent self-direction, coupled with an aptitude for team collaboration and open communication. You are a strong communicator, explaining complex technical concepts to designers, support, and other engineers is no problem for you.

A degree in Computer Science or the equivalent is nice to have, but the most important requirement is significant programming experience as demonstrated by your GitHub account, personal projects, academic publications, or startup success. You possess significant experience designing and deploying infrastructure in a cloud environment in addition to strong computer science fundamentals such as, but not limited to, data structures, algorithms, programming languages, distributed systems, and information retrieval. Finally, your accomplishments are much more important than any paper credentials.
