At Gearset, we build a cutting-edge DevOps solution for the millions of developers building applications on Salesforce, the world's biggest enterprise PaaS. In only a few years Gearset has become the DevOps solution of choice for some of the world's biggest companies, including IBM, McKesson, and even Salesforce themselves. As a Gearset DevOps Engineer you will work collaboratively using a pragmatically-chosen modern tech stack (Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, .NET) to help Gearset run a scalable, secure and reliable service, and enable development of the solution to scale with the growth of the company. Gearset was founded by a group of software engineers and our product has always been built on a robust devops philosophy, but we know there is so much more that we can do.
