You'll be using your operations skill, software crafting abilities, and teamwork to maintain and extend foundational technologies to provide highly available, distributed services to customers who rely on InfluxData's time series platform where metrics and events are first-class citizens.

You'll join an awesome team of DevOps/SREs, bringing experience in designing, implementing, and operating large scale, multi-cloud Kubernetes infrastructure driven by GitOps methodology. You understand that great products require great culture - you design and implement with respect and kindness across multiple engineering teams.

We embrace an empathetic, supportive, and communicative environment pulling from one another's strengths and perseverance through failure and the resulting lessons learned.

What you'd bring to the table

• Production-level experience with Kubernetes and surrounding ecosystems (e.g., Istio, Vault, and other Cloud Native technologies) in production environments.

• Terraform and other automation tooling to make life more predictable: you’ve taken manual processes and automated them, or taken automated processes and refined them.

• Hands-on experience with AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure with production workloads within managed Kubernetes platforms as well as more general DevOps patterns (e.g., compute, storage, database offerings unique to each provider)

• Being an active leader of a DevOps or SRE group focused on iterative excellence.

• Willingness to participate in a pager rotation and serve as a subject matter expert on many areas of Kubernetes and general cloud computing principles.

Bonus if you've had experience

• Implementing and abiding by SLOs dictated by mature SLIs in production.

• Being an incident lead, engaging multiple groups simultaneously to resolve critical problems.

• Working with CircleCI, GitHub Actions, and other CI/CD technologies.

• Automating All the Things with great success (or, if not, how you learned from the experience).

• Thriving in a remote-first, distributed team environment.

• Working with, or on, applications written using Go or Rust
