DevOps Engineer for AR/VR Company - remote

Hello,

How are you?

I’m sure you’ve read hundreds of these job descriptions by now.

I hope reading this one will be less painful.

We've been getting by with one our developer spending part of their time working on the DevOps side of things and we're just getting to a scale where that won't work anymore. We're looking for someone to take over from their solid foundation and help us continue to scale.

You'll be helping our application - and our team - scale. Initially you'd be taking over the general maintenance and scaling of our server infrastructure. You'd collaborate with the Backend team on improvements to performance. Help us scale our databases. Evaluate implementing a multi-region deployment. Improve our local development experience for our developers (Currently looking at using Gitpod). Assist with our SOC2 compliance. Research offering an on-prem solution. A little bit of everything. You get to pick your own tools and we're always open to trying new things. You'd be the foundational member of our DevOps team and help it grow.

We currently deploy to both our own infrastructure in Google Cloud and a partners infrastructure (Backed by AWS, but has a custom management web interface in front of it). We're looking at utilizing Replicated.com to standardize our on-prem deployment implementation. We are evaluating offering our customers on-prem deployments via Replicated.com.

We use Google Cloud with their Kubernetes Engine for almost everything we do. Our backend applications are in a microservice architecture and are (almost) all PHP/Laravel applications. We are using Laravel Octane but previously used Nginx/FPM. We utilized Google's hosted services for Postgres and Redis. All of the infrastructure itself is codified with Pulumi.

If so, please apply. I’d love to talk.

We’re a team of ~30

We are fully remote.

We don’t micro manage.

We don’t do the startup grind thing (and we don’t work weekends).

You'd be working with a product team (not solo).

We’re building some cool stuff. Our product is growing like crazy right now.

If that all sounds interesting and you'd like to apply.... please include in your cover letter your favorite flavor of ice cream. (Spam filter!)
