Sr Software Engineer

About the Opportunity

We’re adding a Senior Level Engineer to our close knit and cross functional team. This is a unique position as you not only need to have experience with DevOps, but also understand the challenges of implementing it across an organization and be passionate about simplifying this in order to achieve maximin velocity. We believe that DevOps is too complicated for most developers and too subjective for most companies. Our Platform allows teams to package up custom automations (Ops) that can be run on your local machine or in Slack, which we strongly believe is at the centre of remote collaboration.

Our mission at CTO.ai is to make DevOps more enjoyable and accessible to the next 50 million developers. Did we also mention that we are also building out an open source library of Ops?
