Fanatics is looking for a Staff Software Engineer, working on our Cloud team!

The Cloud team handles things like: Kubernetes, Consul, Vault, Terraform, CI & CD, and bless. We support many engineers & teams, and build tools to scale ourselves out.

In the past few years, we’ve moved the majority of our web traffic to our cloud-based platform. Our data team is dependent upon processing large sets for their tools. Over the next few years, the number of engineers & applications that depend upon us will grow.

We need to stay ahead of them, providing reliable services, tooling, and infrastructure. We are continuing to build our team with forward-thinking, creative and talented engineers.

What you’ll be doing:

  • You’ll be independently designing & implementing solutions for difficult problems. Examples include:
  • Tooling to enable our users to provision infrastructure as code
  • Continuous deployment
  • Ephemeral environments to support significant localized bursts of traffic
  • You’ll be ensuring that the teams we support have world-class services with five-nines reliability
  • You’ll evangelize best practices, get ahead of other teams, and build tools before they’re needed
  • You will be a subject matter expert the organization seeks out for advice when solving cloud-based problems
  • You’ll be pragmatic, understanding that code is a liability, and constantly working to deliver higher quality solutions in shorter timeframes

Why you’ll be terrific at it:

  • You know AWS, distributed systems, and the cost/benefit of microservice architecture
  • You have experience owning services that are critical to business success
  • You are a backend engineer, familiar with Go, Java, or a similar language
  • You’re capable of diving in to solve a problem in an unfamiliar space
  • You empower other engineers by building tools with excellent UX, whether they are RESTful APIs or CLIs
  • You are always pushing to do better and automate more
  • You communicate clearly in voice and text

Tryouts are open at Fanatics! Our team is passionate, talented, unified, and charged with creating the fan experience of tomorrow. The ball is in your court now.
