POSITION OVERVIEW

ShapeShift is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to build and maintain platform infrastructure for this growing organization. The Site Reliability Engineer will be leveraging Docker container orchestration and CI platforms to ensure maximum performance and availability of ShapeShift’s software services, evolving our metric collection and reporting infrastructure to provide Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of these services to the business, and serve as an ambassador of DevOps culture to our internal engineering teams. The ideal candidate will possess expert-level ability with core AWS technologies (ECS, IAM, VPC, RDS, ElastiCache), Hashicorp Terraform, and CircleCI. This position offers a unique opportunity to help revolutionize the Financial-Technical Services industry simply by doing what you already love to do: Build stuff to run things.

This is a full-time, exempt position, and reports to the Engineering Manager.

Your desire to make a real impact on an organization and the world grows by the day. The ideal candidate will be open to daily changes in workflow and protocol (and force us to improve workflows). As a start-up in an evolving space, there are new challenges that require new solutions every day.

GOALS OF POSITION

  • Maintain maximum reliability and uptime of business-critical services.
  • Provision new systems, maintain existing systems, and migrate legacy systems to new infrastructure.
  • Provide insight into business and infrastructure performance via development, implementation, and monitoring of software-based Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
  • Triage and resolve unplanned issues as they arise.
  • Categorize, generate acceptance criteria for, and create action items for new, unplanned work requirements.  

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

  • Proven experience maintaining a complex, microservice-based architecture.
  • Ability to fabricate achievable, deliverable action items from monolithic business requirements.
  • Ability to constructively and empathetically communicate with your customer base, consisting of software engineering teams with varying ranges of technical expertise.
  • Ability to work independently, enthusiastically, and creatively.
  • Ability to effectively communicate with your peers with empathy and perspective.
  • A strong sense of responsibility, ownership, and integrity of character.

REQUIRED EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

  • Professional experience with Linux in a high volume, high-availability environment.
  • Proficiency using Hashicorp Terraform to provision and manage infrastructure in AWS.
  • Strong literacy and experience with Docker and Kubernetes (Amazon ECS is a plus).
  • Proficiency at deploying and managing infrastructure and software with Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery tooling (CircleCI).
  • Deep understanding of AWS core technologies (ECS/EC2, VPC, IAM, ALB, RDS, ElastiCache).

PREFERRED EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

  • Experience operating blockchain clients or nodes (bitcoind, parity, geth).
  • Familiarity with financial markets and terminology, exchange and trade platforms, and matching engines.
  • Experience with metric collection and visualization platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, etc).
  • Experience with MEAN stack (Mongo, Express.js, Angular, NodeJS).
  • Experience using JIRA for Agile process-driven development.

REQUIRED TRAVEL

No travel is required for this position.

Being available for an on-call rotation in the event of a crisis is desirable -- actually being summoned after-hours is a rarity.
