DevOps Engineer

Our team of 9 engineers is curious, driven, friendly, and collaborative. We believe in an egoless approach to development and a blameless approach to problem solving. While we work independently, we support each other through frequent code and design reviews, daily stand-ups, and pair programming, facilitating learning and reducing friction in our regular release schedule of every 3 weeks.

In your first week, you will:

• Commit to our puppet repository
• Commit to our chatbot repository
• Deploy updated chatbot code
• Build and deploy AWS amis (via chatbot)
• Deploy application code to production

In your first month, you will:

• Add meaningful functionality to our chatbot

• Take primary ownership of at least two of the following:

• testing/ci
• configuration management
• logs, metrics, alerting, and dashboards
• asset management/pipe-lining
• development environments
• operations-level security/compliance

• workers/job queues

• Have identified pain-points in our application stack and/or infrastructure AND have suggestions around how to fix them

By your third month, you will:

• Help us make architectural decisions to increase availability/reliability
• Improve system metrics visibility to Engineers and non-Engineers alike
• Further optimize our deployment procedures so that we can get thoroughly-tested code into production even faster.
• Want to grow the operations team more to accommodate your growing list of nice-to-have optimizations that aren't high priority, but would be so awesome to build/have.

We are seeking an experienced and motivated operations/back-end engineer to expand our (small) operations team and continue to promote DevOps at HelloSign.

• Located in the US and are willing to work either remotely or in our San Francisco office
• Will make meaningful decisions about our existing solutions and drive the software/services that support our growth.
• Have strong opinions about how to do things, and continue molding those opinions based on your experiences.
• Abhor performing repetitive tasks and/or stepping through inefficient processes
• Do not take issue with attempting to script yourself out of necessity, nor with providing documentation to ensure that others can efficiently do what you do.
• Find new technology interesting and often worth investigation, but exercise great caution before using immature solutions in production
