- Become an expert in the features and operations of our runtime cloud environments (GCP and Snowpark Container Services)
- Scope and lead new projects, taking them from concept to operational services
- Adapt Seek’s platform to the capabilities of our cloud environments as needed, for example authentication or monitoring
- Review and improve your teammates’ design docs and PRs
- Assist in hiring activities for the R&D org
Requirements
- Strong, demonstrable skills in Python or related languages
- Experience building and operating scaled services on public cloud infrastructure
- Experience designing distributed services and architectures
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and penchant for creating clarity
- Proven experience in operating independently on significant projects - for example, as a tech lead on new initiatives
- Strong test-driven approach to building highly reliable software
Bonus points if you have…
- Experience with Snowpark Container Services
- Experience with GCP, Kubernetes, docker, and Terraform
