Industry research shows that women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups generally don't apply to jobs unless they check all the boxes for the role. If you feel strongly that you have what it takes for this role but don't check 100% of the boxes - that's okay - we encourage you to apply anyway and highlight what you can bring to the table!

The Botify platform consists of 3 pillars: Botify Analytics, Botify Intelligence and Botify Activation, and these products are actively growing to provide increased added value to our customers. Of course, the infrastructure needs to grow along, and our team, currently of 3 engineers, is hiring a Senior Infra Engineer to create new infrastructures or improve and maintain existing ones.

Our team is responsible for the entire infrastructure and enables Botify frontend and backend stacks to run in production. We always take the initiative to improve our stack or workaround recurring problems. We support the other engineering teams (50 persons) as needed, provide staging/sandbox environments, and participate in architecture decisions. We are involved in code reviews (both for infrastructure and platform code) and can suggest or contribute to app changes.

Why this job is for you:

• You currently work within the Infrastructure or DevOps team of a startup or tech company.
• You appreciate infrastructure and operational work.
• You know the DevOps philosophy and practice infrastructure as code.
• You like when the platform is up, when operations are smooth and automated, when metrics and errors flow automatically to the right persons and alert you if something goes south.
• You take initiatives to make our operations better and communicate with the rest of the tech team at the right level.
• You are looking for a fast-growing tech startup fostering a collaborative environment.

Your role:

• You will create new infrastructures or iterate on existing ones, either on projects led by the infra team, or on projects co-driven by development squads.
• You will be the go-to person for the development team when they have questions on the infrastructure or need help on the parts of the infrastructure they are building.
• You will spend 75% of your time contributing to technical improvements and 25% on the run part.
• We explained parts of our infrastructures in this podcast (in french): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyacT4w0ZeM

Your skills:

• You have 8+ years of Infrastructure/cloud DevOps experience.
• You have strong experience working with cloud providers like AWS/GCP, ideally both, but it can be one or the other
• You have experience managing mission critical platforms (SLA 99.5%+) and/or experience on a data processing platform.
• You use IaC tools like Terraform or Ansible.
• You work with a high level scripting language (ideally Python).
• You have good knowledge of the Unix platform and ecosystem (we use Ubuntu internally, but it's not a requirement).
• You have professional proficiency in English and French.

Technical stack:

• A mix of AWS, GCP and OVH (bare-metal).
• Docker and our internal deployment system.
• Ansible for our instance configuration and Terraform (+terragrunt) for the infrastructure configuration.
• 1500+ servers, scaling depending on the workload.
• Load of 2000 req/s on some services.
• Using Github Action to automate deployments.
