Posted 3 years ago

Prokeep is seeking a DevOps engineer to become part of our Engineering and QA teams to support our messaging platform that is experiencing rapid growth in the construction industry. This engineer will work on building and supporting new development tools and platforms, CI (we use GitLab), Cloud Engineering and Systems, as well as helping us with build and release processes.

About Prokeep

Prokeep is a software company that has developed a messaging platform for the $100+ billion wholesale distribution market (i.e. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc). We are post product, post revenue, and growing fast in the US and Canada.

Our team is small, nimble, and devoted to making our customers’lives easier with simple to use technology. We envision a world where distributors using our tools are more efficient and able to build stronger relationships with their customers.

Requirements

We are looking for a Devops engineer to help us with a range of exciting new projects as we grow in our capacity and maturity as a software engineering team. You don’t have to be an expert with all the tools in our stack, but an interest in working on projects at all levels of the stack will be helpful as we expand the breadth of our platform. You should have strong opinions about tools and architecture but should also be able to explain those opinions persuasively, not abrasively. You should take pride in writing performant, logically structured, readable code, but also be pragmatic enough to realize that sometimes shipped projects or systems are better than perfect projects or systems.

  • Shell scripting/build scripting
  • CI experience (GitLab a +)
  • Docker Docker Docker !
  • AWS experience - ECS ++, lambda, cloudformation

  • Selenium grid, Testrail, AWS Canary (selenium on lambda)
