We want to get this down to the hundreds of milliseconds domain. Interested? There is more...\n\nOur external API is pure Hypermedia REST + oAuth on top of Pyramid. It mechanizes the Git layer and needs more features.\n\nWe can consistently generate from the same manifest a Docker container, an LXC one, or VM disk images (AWS, Azure, OpenStack), we want more targets.\n\nWe probably have the highest industry container density. We need to get it higher.\n\nWe support any Python, Ruby, NodeJS or PHP, Java and .NET, time to roll-out Elixir, of course, Elixir (and Rust. We need Rust).\n\nWe need to have more auto-healing on the high-availability clusters. We need more performance out of our multi-protocol ssh proxy. We need work on our Ceph Implementation. We need to get the Debian package generation streamlined and faster. We need… great ideas on how to make Platform.sh even better.\n\nDirectly reporting to our VP of Infrastructure and in close interaction with our Engineering and Customer Support teams, you will be responsible for:\n\n\n* cloud operations: configure clusters, deploy stuff, follow-up on alerts, help customer support debug issues.\n\n* creating systems, tools & processes that will enhance our support and operations efficiency\n\n* improving service quality, discipline and reliability throughout lifecycle\n\n* monitoring operating objectives, streamline and automate intervention\n\n* continuous learning from Operations experience, modeled as software\n\n* supporting our data protection officer and compliance team with information requests, pen testing, disaster recovery, and related activities\n\n* executing our security incident management process\n\n* work with appropriate teams to deploy and operate security tools and solutions\n\n* ensure all systems, security applications and services in environment are securely configured and managed through operating system appropriate security platforms and tools\n\n* ensure optimal operation of all security solutions and tools\n\n* automating all of the above so they can instead drink margaritas (or non-alcoholic beverages, of course)\n\n\n\n\nMust have :\n\nThe ideal candidate:\n\n\n* has proven successful experience in an operations role\n\n* has demonstrated the ability to successfully manage cloud-based infrastructure for a fast growing organization\n\n* has experience with containerization technologies\n\n* has had exposure to cloud services (AWS)\n\n* understands how an OS works, knows networking, how git works, and the constraints of a distributed system\n\n* puppet experience\n\n* is proficient in Python (Golang a plus)\n\n* has an understanding of\n\n\n\n* Patch and Vulnerability Management process\n\n* Principle of Least Privilege\n\n* Incident response\n\n* Identity and Access Management\n\n* IPTABLES\n\n* WAFs\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNice to have :\n\n\n* knowledge of Magento Ecommerce, Symfony, Drupal, eZ Platform, or Typo3\n\n* relational database skills\n\n* public speaking experience\n\n* ability to kick ass in Chess or beat Zork without using a map\n\n* proficiency in Rust grants you bonus points\n\n* CISSP (preferred), Security+, GCED, GICSP, GCIH, SSCP, or CASP Certification or similar\n\n* audit and compliance experience\n\n* can bravely take on new challenges like a Gryffindor, analyzes problems like Ravenclaw, protects our infrastructure and client data like a Slytherin, and talks with clients like a Hufflepuff.\n\n\n\n\nNote: We don't like stress, so we build everything to be robust and resilient, but stuff does break. This is a role with on-call duties. If page-duty fills you with dread... well, this might not be a fit. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to DevOps, Engineer, Java, Cloud, Git, Python, API and Linux jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n
