About the opportunity

This role falls within our growing DevOps organization, responsible for building and supporting our products from a software perspective. DevOps engineers are responsible for maintaining the uptime of services and keeping Flock production systems running smoothly. They also work on our build, deploy, metrics, alerting, and logging tooling and infrastructure.

• Collaborate with Platform, Machine Learning, and Hardware teams on multifaceted projects that interact with our system


• Manage the infrastructure for ML projects and systems


• Assess new technologies as needed, balancing technical needs and business impact


• Refine our CI/CD process, improving the rate we can deliver new code to production in a reliable and efficient manner

• Be part of an on-call process to resolve availability incidents and work towards preventing these incidents from ever happening


• Use best practices when creating and managing AWS resources (e.g. security groups, VPCs)


• Manage containers and orchestration, using Docker and Kubernetes

Nice to haves
