Job Overview

At Yellowbrick, we’re building the world’s most advanced, parallel, scale-out elastic cloud data warehouse. It is in business-critical use at dozens of large enterprise customers who depend on it for their operations. It runs in public clouds and on-premises. Our software scales out to hundreds of nodes on multiple clusters. It’s a complex software stack, highly available, supports replication for disaster recovery, and shouldn’t go down. Our R&D team solves the hardest computer science problems at all levels of the stack. What we do isn’t easy: We design hardware, build an SQL UI for Kubernetes, build an operating system, have created an entire enterprise-grade database from scratch with remote support capability, and actively build and maintain business continuity functions and a growing set of ecosystem integrations.

We are looking for a highly motivated and driven platform developer to join our team who can build and integrate key tools needed for an efficient test and delivery platform.

You will work closely with engineering teams to support our growth from a developer productivity perspective, driving the standards for infrastructure, tooling and workflows that will help us build and ship software quickly and reliably. You will drive to establish a cutting-edge infrastructure for Yellowbrick’s engineering organization.

Great tooling is key for a productive engineering organization. The Platform Development Team’s job is to deliver solutions for building, testing, deploying, and monitoring Yellowbrick systems. Developers, testers, support engineers, and others will use the tools/systems you build to do their jobs more effectively.

Responsibilities

• Craft solutions to solve complex issues pertaining to a myriad of challenges around our validation and delivery mechanics for the Yellowbrick Database
• Improve and automate developer /test workflows to make software building, testing and deployment easier
• Develop best practices for software development and automated test injection
• Develop/maintain frameworks and integrations for test execution, analysis, and reporting
• Implement scalable solutions for future growth
• Support tools integration/ operations/ change management, and maintenance

Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years working with the modern cloud native Devtools
• Experience working with continuous integration tools such as Argo
• Strong experience with scripting languages such as Python
• Willingness to step outside of your comfort zone and learn new skills/technologies
• Experience with the Atlassian stack: JIRA, Confluence and Bitbucket
• Experience with test driven development and automation
• Experience working with public/private clouds (OpenStack, AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Good understanding of the HashiCorp Suite (Packer, Terraform, Vault, Vagrant, Consul).
• Containerization - Docker, docker-compose, Kubernetes (EKS or Openshift)
• A basic understanding of SQL databases (expertise in database internals not required)
