REMOTE
100%
GrayHair Software is a 100% REMOTE company!
The headquarters are in Florida, USA. However, they are looking for someone to join the team they have based in Spain. Here they strongly believe in the advantages of working remotely and in work-life balance, so you might have colleagues from all over the country :)
Who will you work with?
Right now there are about 50 people in the GrayHair, 2 of which are in the DevOps team, although it is likely that by the time you join the team there will be a few more. Let us introduce you to some of your potential future team mates who you will interact the most with in your day-to-day work:
- Mike Norris (Head of Technical Operations) - Mike has been with the company for a little over 1 year. He has 30 years of technology experience in various aspects of Information Technology. Mike is responsible for DevOps, Production Support, HelpDesk, all ITIL related items along with Project Management and our Agile practices.
- John Hiltz (Head of DevOps) - John will make sure you lack for nothing during the initial onboarding from account setup, as well as helping with permissions and general access for any IT related issues. He will be there to provide guidance and help you navigate the organization.
- Eugene Vaynerman (Infrastructure Engineer) - Eugene has been with the company for almost 8 years. He specializes in their on premise data center infrastructure, scripting, and file movement processes. However, Eugene is a true jack of all trades and will tackle any problems or tasks head on.
They all work remotely, but they do a company offsite once a year, where all full-time employees are flown to the USA for a 3-day company retreat. Here are some pics from their most recent get-together in Florida:
What are they asking for?
They are looking for the right person, rather than just years and years of experience, although it is true that their main focus is to find a candidate with substantial infrastructure experience. However, they are flexible and open to both senior and senior-mid profiles.
It's important to note that strong communication skills are a must-have to join the team. The ability to communicate fluently and comfortably in English is a deal-breaker for this position.
As for the technical requirements for this position, here they are:
- Experience as Devops / Infrastructure engineer + 5 years with AWS services and infrastructure migration.
- Proficiency in programming languages, from an infrastructure perspective. They use Python and Groovy, but they don't mind if you use others like Ruby, NodeJS, etc.
- Knowledge of infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.
- Experience with monitoring and logging tools like CloudWatch or ELK stack.
- Strong understanding of DevOps principles and practices and familiarity with code quality analysis (they use SonarQube).
- Experience with Docker and containerization and used to work with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
(Bonus Points)
- Familiarity with AWS services such as Elasticache, Athena, EMR, API Gateway, SQS, and SNS.
- AWS certifications like AWS Solutions Architect Associate or AWS Developer Associate.
