Overview

Place Inc, a nation wide real estate company, is looking for a devops engineer with a focus on our testing.

The Culture:

Some key points about the culture of our team here:

🤖 We value automation. That means we take the extra time to do things right. We don’t use hard deadlines.

📅 We’re not big on meetings. That means we have great communication and patient self-driven attitudes.

🤓 We have a passion for open source. That means we’re curious self-learners who dive deep into code repos.

🧐 We care about everything we do. That means we like to take ownership and have attention to detail.

🏂🏻 We value a daily work + life balance.

On rare occasion, you’ll need to respond to an alert at night or on a weekend. This leads to burn out at a lot of other companies. To avoid this, we automate a lot, have no regular meetings, have unlimited PTO, and most importantly, choose whatever schedule works best for us. So when I say we’re the type of company where you can go skiing for the first half of the day and work the second half, I mean it. I do that myself a lot in February/March.

I (the Director of DevOps) believe we’ve built a pretty special work environment for the engineering team that’s rare to find at other companies. If this culture and these values resonate with you, please apply!

We’re a remote first company, but you get bonus points if you live in Colorado.

The Role:

You’ll be joining our devops/platform team. We share a lot of responsibilities, but this position will have a focus on our testing pipelines.

We can train you on other DevOps work, but require that you have some experience with the test responsibilities you’ll be taking the intiative on.

• Setting up and configuring the test jobs that run in our CI system

• Developing ways to view performance and security test metrics over time

• Managing our integrations testing environment

• Improving the efficiency of our tests

• Helping the developers with any test questions or needs that may arise

We run self-hosted Gitlab with runners and other dependencies on Kubernetes. That being said, at least some basic experience with Kubernetes is needed.

• Experience with CI systems (Gitlab preferred)

• Experience with testing tools

• Kubernetes

• Strong shell scripting skills

• Experience writing Dockerfiles

• Linux administration

Bonus Qualifications:

• Certified Kubernetes Administrator

• AWS Certified Solutions Architect

Benefits:
