DevOps Engineer at nextmv - Remote (Europe, United States) / New York / Philadelphia

Job Description

nextmv (YC W20) is changing how companies automate and optimize their operations. We provide developers with the building blocks to create and test decision models, quickly. From logistics to healthcare to finance, every company can benefit from decision engineering using optimization and simulation. We’re looking for incredibly motivated people to help!

In a little over a year we have made substantial progress. We’re already landing enterprise clients. We’ve raised over $11 million from leading VC firms including Y Combinator, Firstmark Capital, Dynamo Ventures, and 2048 VC. And we’re just getting started.

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer II who is familiar with cloud platforms, container technology and loves automation. As the first dedicated hire supporting cloud infrastructure, internal tooling and automation you will have an impact on how we operate all our systems and services. In this role you will help build and maintain cloud infrastructure for our tools and products as well as assist with customer deployments ensuring we are following best practices and industry standards. You'll directly contribute to the success of our new hosted product by serving a hybrid DevOps / SRE function. This role will participate in our on-call rotation.

Requirements

• 3+ years as a software engineer, DevOps engineer, cloud engineer, site reliability engineer or systems administrator
• Demonstrable experience administering AWS, especially VPCs, Lambda, RDS, S3 and IAM Roles & Policies
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IAC) using Terraform
• Excellent understanding of Docker & container technologies
• Hands on experience with configuration management tools such as Ansible
• Demonstrable understanding of modern software development practices including pair programming, peer reviews, Git-based workflows, continuous integration and delivery, and automated testing
• Comfortable with Bash and Python
• Familiarity with monitoring tools and services (DataDog)

Not required, but a plus:

• Experience with Go or another statically typed and compiled language
• Experience with serverless systems
• Hands on experience with Kubernetes
• Experience with software package management (RPM, APT, npm, Maven, Nexus, Artifactory, etc)
• Ability to evaluate the benefits of using in-house vs off-the-shelf solutions
• Software development experience
• Familiarity with on-call / incident response practices
• 2+ years of remote work experience

These are some of your traits:

• The idea of working in a fast-paced startup environment excites you
• You thrive on automating everything and adding structure to processes and procedures
• Working together as a team to accomplish goals is more important than working alone
• You are eager to support our customers when they have DevOps or cloud engineering questions and researching technologies to find solutions
• You value simplicity over complexity
• You embrace challenging technical work
• You thrive on discovering and documenting simple, pragmatic solutions
• You’re not afraid to speak up when you have a point of view, but can “disagree and commit” once a final decision is reached
• You just read this whole list and got more excited than concerned

How we work

We are remote first

We value amazing work and a strong work-life balance. The majority of our collaboration happens on Slack and Zoom. We get together quarterly for team offsites so we can get some facetime (Covid Pending).

Salary Transparency

We believe that financial transparency creates trust, and that teams with a high level of trust are able to execute more effectively. We view salary transparency as a way to challenge a rampant problem in our industry: the wage gap. The base salary for any two employees in the same role is the same. Performance in that role is the differentiator, not upfront negotiation.

Benefits

This is a salaried role. In addition, nextmv offers:

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Minimum Vacation Policy - (3 weeks minimum)
• Stock Option Plan
• 401k
• Home Office Stipend
• Parental Leave

This role (and all roles at nextmv) is remote. That being said, all employees should be able to travel to company retreats quarterly (when COVID settles down).

About nextmv

nextmv helps companies automate and optimize even the most complicated operational decisions. The nextmv platform allows any developer to quickly build, test, and deploy models that automate routing, assignment, matching and scheduling.

Our Values

Our values are aspirational and affect everything we do. At nextmv, we hope to instill core attributes and practices into our daily lives. We will work toward these goals together, and help each other along the way.
