QA / DevOps Engineer (Kubernetes) - remote

We’re looking for a remote full-time engineer with strategic thinking to join our team and help to bring Open Source databases to Kubernetes. We would love to find an engineer who knows deep distributed databases and Kubernetes, and who also has the right DevOps mindset and experience with CI/CD pipelines. You should find these keywords familiar and very appealing: Kubernetes, infrastructure orchestration, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, database clustering, database high-availability strategies, containers, Jenkins pipelines, CI/CD, bash. The work is challenging, but that’s why it’s also fun and rewarding! Plus, our team is small, so you and your work will have a significant impact on the Kubernetes ecosystem. This is a rare opportunity to work from home in a great team, on a 100% open source project!

What You Will Do

• Build quality into the product in the first place for the Kubernetes Operators for relational and NoSQL databases. Focus on prevention of wrong design in early stages and on automatic testing in CI/CD on late stage
• Lead the DevOps and Release Management lifecycle which includes coordinating, testing and the management of releases
• Collaborate with engineers and teams across the company to helping in the deployment and debugging of Kubernetes Operators to facilitate rapid integration and massive growth
• Participate in technical articles writing, blogging, conference speaking engagements

Your Experience

• Excellent understanding of how to build distributed clusters for (at least one) MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
• Proficient with Kubernetes
• Good in building CI/CD pipelines

• Success working in a distributed environment where e-mail, instant messaging and voice calls are the only interactions with others on a daily basis
• Ability to communicate effectively in English (speaking and writing)
