GoCardless is looking for a DevOps
Engineer to help scale our infrastructure so that the thousands of
businesses using our service across Europe can take payments.
The role
As
a DevOps Engineer at GoCardless you will be part of a small team that
sets the direction of the GoCardless core stack and you will work very
closely with an experienced member of the team. You will have to think
through all the moving pieces and issues that can arise, and collaborate
with every other team within engineering – from product to data – to
drive engineering efforts in the company.
Some projects we have recently worked on:
What you’ll do here:
- Create Chef cookbooks to deploy and manage our services.
- Deploy software to improve availability, scalability and efficiency.
- Troubleshoot problems and automate responses for recurrent issues.
- Investigate and fix performance issue.
- Tackle the issues that come your way when you’re on call, with assistance from the rest of the team when needed.
What we're looking for
We
want to work with people who are eager to trying to improve and
automate changes to infrastructure, who enjoy finding elegant solutions
for complex problems, who thrive with new challenges and seemingly
cryptic issues, who believe there is always something new to learn and
that improvement is an iterative process.
You should apply if:
- You have knowledge of Unix fundamentals.
- You have some experience designing, analysing, and troubleshooting distributed systems.
- You have some knowledge of TCP/IP networking.
- You are familiar with cloud computing systems.
Not essential, but nice to have:
- Formal education in Computer Science.
- Some experience with operating PostgreSQL or similar RDBMS.
- Fluency in one or more programming languages, and you write clean and effective code.
This
role would ideally suit someone with some previous experience in a
similar role or as a Software Engineer but keen to transition into a
Devops Engineer role.
In your
application, please include your CV and a link to your GitHub, and tell
us about an interesting technical project or problem that you’ve
recently enjoyed working on.
