As a Site Reliability Engineer II at BigCommerce, you'll work as part of our Technical Operations team. Our Site Reliability / Infrastructure Engineering team consists of a passionate group of individuals who specialize not only in web operations and systems administration but also in software engineering. We're charged with designing the underlying technology stack that powers BigCommerce stores and building the underlying systems and tools that enable engineering teams to build and ship BigCommerce services.

We're looking for an experienced candidate who brings a blended set of skills for software engineering and web operations to our team. In other organizations, you might have heard of this referred to as a "DevOps Engineer". We like to believe DevOps is an idea, a theory, and a set of fundamentals about how we work and interact within our team, in engineering, and for our business.

Currently, you'll find us predominantly working in Ruby, and PHP, backed up by Puppet for configuration management and Terraform for infrastructure management. We've also been known to work in JVM-based languages (Scala), and with Go from time to time.  We're always integrating new services and new technologies into our environment - Docker, linkerd, Nomad, and Terraform just to name a few.

What you will do:

• A software engineer with a curiosity for operations, or an operations engineer that wants to work closely with software engineers to help glue infrastructure and software together.
• Apply software engineering and SRE principles while demonstrating infrastructure automation tools to build, maintain, monitor, and operate sophisticated infrastructure.
• You understand scalable web architectures and cloud technologies. 
• Someone who loves to code, and you enjoy working in multiple programming languages. We primarily work with Ruby, PHP, Lua, HCL, and Puppet.
• Assist with defining requirements for tasks and projects
• You drive issues to completion, engaging with your teammates and marshaling resources in high-pressure situations.
• Work closely with your peers to expand your knowledge and understanding of the technologies used in the platform

• You're obsessive-compulsive, in a good way. Your systems and scripts are clean, well-documented, and comprehensible.
• You have a passion for learning, are curious when it comes to working with new technologies or languages, and are not afraid to ask questions.
• Experienced with Linux systems administration, including proven scripting skills in Ruby, PHP, Python, or Bash.
• Experienced with running Docker with container orchestration systems such as Nomad, Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, or Google GKE. 
• Experienced with database, document storage, and object storage systems.
