Life at Q is anything but boring! We’re on a mission to find the As to the most challenging Qs of today. That makes our everyday lives more fun, our team more cohesive and our daily tasks more exciting. Are you ready for a challenge?
We are looking for a Senior AWS SRE / DevOps Engineer to join our current team as we’re growing and the workload keeps getting larger. You will primarily spend your time in the console or looking at monitors - keeping an eye that something doesn’t go wrong. You will also handle our AWS servers, Terraform code, containers in staging and production environments, and communicate with developers in a day-to-day communication trying to make their lives easier.
What is it all about?
- Writing and automating Terraform code to provision all of the infrastructure for our clients. Terraform is at the center of what we do and we love it!
- Provisioning and configuring AWS services to ensure our client’s platforms are scalable, secure, and maintainable. We are straying away from ClickOps – Everything is Infrastructure as Code.
- Managing Kubernetes, Docker, ECS, and Lambda to automate, provision, and orchestrate our client’s applications.
- Building containers and container automation so all code is uniformly bundled and ready to ship to wherever our clients need.
- Setting up and provisioning 3rd party SaaS tools. AWS can’t do everything, so tools like SonarQube, NewRelic, Sentry, Grafana, Ansible and others are part of our go-to 3rd party toolset.
- Pipelining all the things using GitHub Actions and GitLab CI. We’re huge fans of reusable open source.
- Scripting using Bash and Golang – Infrastructure as Code can’t cover everything, so scripting provides glue where necessary.
- Plenty of YAML engineering – Gotta love YAML!
- Documenting our deliverables and knowledge sharing with our clients so they’re empowered to take the reins of their platform after we hand off the project.
- Advising our clients on the right services, tools, and products that will help solve their problems in the cloud.
- Communicating with the client and the rest of the team via Slack.
What do we expect from you:
- Strong interpersonal skills. You can’t be a good team member or consultant without knowing how to work with people. We value this above pretty much everything else to be honest.
- At least 6 years experience in the software industry.
- 3 years minimum experience in the AWS and cloud ecosystem (being familiar with Azure and GCP equivalent services).
- Strong and practical experience with Terraform. You need to have built and managed existing infrastructure with Terraform in the past.
- Experience with ECS / OpenShift or related container orchestration platforms.
- Experience with Terraform / CloudFormation.
- A strong Unix background. We work on Macs or Linux machines. We don’t do Windows.
And it would be awesome if you have...
- A background in Software. Good software engineers make great platform engineers.
- Experience using and setting up a Terraform framework like Terragrunt, Atmos, Terramate, or similar tool is valuable. We work with these tools because they’re a force multiplier, so if you already know the deal then you’ll fit in nicely.
- Experience orchestrating Terraform delivery at a high level. Knowing tools like Spacelift, TF-Controller, Terraform Cloud, Atlantis, Scalr, and similar will be very valuable.
- Crossplane, CDK, Pulumi, or CloudFormation experience. We don’t use them and we’re not going to, but more knowledge in the IaC realm is not going to hurt us.
- Cloud security experience. We help clients work through security automation and compliance – the more experience we have in that realm, the better.
- Programming experience with Bash, Golang, or Python.
What we offer:
- The location choice is yours: remote, on-site or hybrid
- Flexible working hours
- IT community involvement — Meetups, Workshops & Articles
- Internal workshops & personal development
- An open source first environment. Want to work on or create new open source
projects? This is your place. - 100% paid sick leave
- Paid health insurance
- Subvention of the Multisport card
- Transport allowance & meal allowance
Salary range
Our salaries are based on your experience, level of knowledge & technical interview.
