JOB DESCRIPTION

Are you interested in DevOps? Do you want to play a crucial role in working with development teams to build and support their builds and releases? Does being part of a top-tier DevOps team, and everything that comes with it, sound intriguing? As a team member embedded in an energetic DevOps agile team, you will help build out our continuous delivery infrastructure and processes for all of our products utilizing state of the art technologies. You will be involved in the operational and security monitoring and care of the infrastructure and software platforms.

Our DevOps teams are tightly coupled and integrated with the culture, tools, practices and patterns of the rest of our software engineering organization. They not only "keep the lights on" for our systems and networks, but also empower our other development teams with cutting edge tools and capabilities to bring Vertafore products to market as quickly as possible. All of this will be accomplished with cutting edge, lean-agile, software development methodologies. Our culture fosters collaboration, innovation, integrity, mentorship, commitment to success and FUN. Our managers are dedicated to growing their people and offering an opportunity that allows you to make impact in your career.

Working as a DevOps Engineer at Vertafore, you won't have an average day. One day you might be working to automate infrastructure deployment, making sure that we can build database clusters with one command. The next day you might be hard at work investigating why production is suddenly much slower than normal. The day after you might be working with a team to make sure that they have a great build and release process.

You will get an amazing opportunity to work with and learn many cutting edge technologies and skills. DevOps plays many roles in the organization, and you'll be working on CI/CD processes, production support, infrastructure as code, and a multitude of other technologies.

If you have a passion for technology, are hungry to learn, and are looking for a creative, fun and friendly workplace where you get to develop software that will transform the insurance industry, we would love to get in touch with you.
