  • A strong understanding of how to run a large scale Linux environment, including low level fundamentals
  • Firm grasp of at least one modern programming language, beyond basic scripting (Go, Ruby, Python)
  • Solid understanding of web and network protocols and standards (HTTP, TLS, DNS, etc)

Expectations

  • Participate in the development of a reliable and resilient multi-cloud platform that hosts business critical applications for a wide & varied range of customer applications
  • Collaborate with service-owning teams to provide internal support, solve technical challenges and adapt or build tooling to solve novel use cases in a generic fashion
  • Participate in a 247 on-call rotation to swiftly resolve issues related to any disruption of our customer facing Atlas fleet, ensuring minimal disruption and high availability
