The opportunity

The Developer Experience team is rapidly growing & we are looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to join the team that focuses on improving developer pipelines & integrating changes more frequently. The team is responsible for our delivery pipeline infrastructure. We develop the CI/CD paved path, which makes service integration & deployment easier. Developers can use this infrastructure to own & integrate their services. The team defines & supports various deployment models (Blue-Green, Canary, Rolling) as well as release orchestration & automation gates (image scanning, dependency checks, testing, production readiness, SDLC best practices & policies). Our applications are currently running on Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), but with our recent migration to Service-oriented architecture (SOA), were starting to push the limits. We have begun deploying services to the Flexport Kubernetes Engine (FKE) & want to continue helping our developers use this infrastructure to own & integrate their services.

What youll do:

• Develop reusable tools, frameworks, processes, & automation around build/deploy/test workflows that help engineers set up, implement, & deliver their services as quickly & easily as possible.
• Codify software development life cycle (build, deploy, test, refactor, release with no downtime) that enable high-quality release in all environments.
• Own our developer experience by working with engineering teams to identify & resolve areas of developer friction.
• Drive adoption of best practices in code health, testing, & maintainability.
• Enable service migrations from ECS to K8S.
• Automate integrations with engineering systems such as Github, Artifactory, Jira.

What youll need:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with containerized CI/CD pipelines & creating reproducible builds from development to production.
• Demonstrable skills in at least one programming language.
• Experience with K8S & CI/CD tools, including the benefits & challenges.
