CA and US onlyThe Core DevOps team’s main role is building and maintaining the infrastructure for Loop’s applications. We also work together with Embedded DevOps Engineers as well as with our partner-team, DevEx, to build a seamless developer experience for Loop’s Software Engineers. Last but not least, all teams within the Engineering Department - Core DevOps included - share the responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of Loop’s applications (think monitoring and incident response).
Members of the Core DevOps team have a strong pull to leave the world (or at the very least, the software industry) better than they found it. When they don’t know the answer to a question right away, “I don’t know, but let me find it out for you” is their default approach. They strive to be accepting of their strengths as well as their limitations, and know how to interact with both empathy and confidence. When they feel strongly about their opinions they dig in their heels, yet they also know how to help their peers truly shine.

Your experience:
- We appreciate that different humans solve problems in different ways, so we don’t expect you to fit every point of this list of requirements. At the same time, for this role, experience with AWS and Kubernetes in your current role is a strong plus.
- 7+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering roles
- 5+ years of experience using Amazon Web Services

- You know how to break down and track your work, and how to keep stakeholders informed in a manner that ensures a high level of independence

- You are able to share examples giving and receiving critical feedback to/from your peers and your leaders

In a perfect world, Loop wouldn't exist. If we had our way, we'd live in a world where we're mindful about how we consume, we love every product we own, and we share values with the brands who create them. In reality, commerce isn't perfect and often breaks. Loop creates second chances.
We're starting by revolutionizing the post-purchase experience. We've taken one of the most fragile commerce interactions - returns - and turned it into something consumers actually love, and that deepens our connection to brands and products.
We take connection seriously on the inside, too. We're building a work experience that allows you to Be A Human First and prioritizes empathy and wellbeing. We view Loop as a special place in your career to shape the future of an industry and become a better person while doing it. You can grow faster here in a shorter amount of time - we'll give you space and trust you to fill it.
