Cloud Infra Engineer

 You will work closely with our backend engineers, supporting them, preparing and providing best practices, tooling, etc, to help them provision services at scale and for the best cost. The ideal candidate will have a background in software engineering and have an understanding of cloud providers, infrastructure as a code, and containers.

 The team communicates mostly in Czech/Slovak but you must be able to speak with other teams in English. For onboarding, you will receive a set of training materials and descriptions of technologies we use, and will participate in a compani´s onboarding program.

What you’ll do

• Take part in the design, implementation, and architecture of new and existing services (e.g., if the backend team needs etcd in one of the services, they will consult you about it) and the whole platform. 
• Contribute to the existing core services — mainly how we’re running them.
• Undertake code reviews for members of your team.
• Be actively involved in designing technical features (participate in design docs and RFCs).
• Share knowledge and experience in new areas and technologies with people outside of your team.
• Participate in service migrations and deprecations (e.g., when monitoring and weighted load balancing is needed).
• Participate in 24/7 on-call rotation (only a few days a month).

What we look for and what are the skills you need to have

• Over two years’ experience as an Infrastructure Engineer, or over two years’ experience running production services, workflows, and containers with CI pipelines and proper monitoring.
• Over two years’ experience building and operating apps in AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• A passion for engineering and problem-solving.
• An ability to keep security, speed, and efficiency in mind when designing new services (or making recommendations to backend engineers).
• Knowledge of infrastructure technologies (database systems, storage, computing, etc. — the basic elements of each service).
• Knowledge of Kubernetes or a similar system for containerized services.
• Knowledge of UNIX-based systems, coding and scripting.
• Knowledge of micro-service architecture
• Awareness of Twelve-Factor App (so you will know whether or not a service features best practices).
• Experience with service monitoring.
• A technical understanding of concepts and how they fit into the "big picture."
