• Continuously improve, evolve and innovate the observability of Commerce's platform architecture
• Take full ownership of issues and projects, driving them to completion with a high degree of autonomy
• Participate in planning and technical design sessions, contributing to their successful execution
• Join the team's on-call rotation

Who You Are:

• 5+ years of experience in building software, operating, or supporting large-scale Linux based service-oriented architectures, with expertise in SQL systems as a bonus
• A deep interest in learning and working with new technologies and programming languages
• Experience in UNIX systems administration, along with proficiency in Golang, Ruby, PHP, or Bash
• Hands-on experience with Docker and orchestration tools such as Nomad (we use Nomad), Kubernetes, or Amazon ECS
• Familiarity with configuration management tools like Ansible, Chef, or Puppet (we use Puppet)
• Experience with observability and application performance monitoring (APM) tools, such as Alertmanager, ELK, Prometheus, New Relic, Sentry and Lightstep
• A software engineer with a curiosity for operations, or an operations engineer that wants to work closely with software engineers to help infrastructure and software excel together
• An excellent communicator who thrives in a geographically distributed team with team members in Austin, San Francisco, Sydney and remote
• Obsessive compulsive, but in a good way. Your systems and scripts are clean, well-documented and comprehensible
