When it comes to modern day software development, you will have your finger on the pulse of the entire pipeline. You will need to be comfortable interfacing with various software components and always considering how best to deliver in a rapidly iterative fashion with a strong focus on service availability, scalability and resilience.
DevOps is as much about communication and business relationships as it is about any of the software or tools you will use.
Duties & Responsibilities
As a New Context DevOps Engineer you will be expected to provide technical leadership with a hands-on approach. On a daily basis you will be interfacing with our clients and other New Context staff members while working from the New Context office, at client sites or from your home. Expect to heavily leverage open source software to tackle challenges like delivery of highly secured containers to IoT devices or building Big Data ecosystems at petabyte scale and beyond.
The team works well together, but also understands that sometimes they go rogue to motivate the group into being effective. Your most important daily responsibilities: have fun, lead by example and solve exciting challenges.
Qualifications
Seasoned Technical Veteran
We are looking for a team member with 5+ years of experience in a similar role that can demonstrate they have already learned how to excel in this role.
Experience with highly available and high-performance open source web technologies
Existing familiarity (or the eagerness to learn) Ruby and/or Python is helpful, given they are the common languages of systems automation.
Strong communication skills
You must be ready to communicate current status in an effective and professional manner.
Independent worker
Work may often require direct interaction with clients or team members without direct supervision. You must be able to think on your feet, communicate constantly and professionally, and above all else meet the expectations of our clients.
Calm and professional demeanor
This is critical! You will be faced with frustrated clients, team members and situations. You must be able to handle yourself in a professional manner and find the best course of action to take in order to please the client as much as is possible.
