Notes:

• This is a developer role, not a DevOps role
• Team is responsible for CI/CD tools, multiple tools they own/handle – they own majority of end-to-end DevOps tools in Fannie Mae environment from tooling standpoint (not as an end users but they customize these tools end to end – GitLab, Terraform, Jenkins, etc..) but EKS is the primary focus of this team right now
• Develop enhancements & customization (generally in Python & other scripting languages) to support FM centric changes, governance, etc..
• We are part of DevOps engineering group but we’re looking for developer to come in and a.) take over development aspect of changes they are making and b.) strong understanding of AWS (specifically to EKS), majority of our application is migrating from EC2 to EKS so this is a highly visible scope of work
• DevOps resumes are NOT what we are looking for, this is moreso a Developer role

  • Working as part of a development team previously
• Developing to enhance application and to enhance functionality of platform – all platform (templates/executions) all done in Python
• Heavy container environment, people should be able to understand base images, how it impacts the pipeline, etc.. providing optimized CI/CD pipelines for the enterprise through development
• Because of scale of the platform (2000 runners migrating to EKS clusters), need tp understand how EKS clusters work, how it impacts CI/CD pipelines
• Not doing any build-deploy work, we refine the build-deploy functionality for our DevOps engineers .. develop the platform to enable CI/CD capabilities for the rest of the enterprise
