Original posting
EnergySavvy | Seattle | Full-Time | Onsite
EnergySavvy is a Seattle-based startup with the mission of reducing energy usage by helping utilities provide a smarter, more personalized customer experience. We're looking for an operations engineer.
Who are you?
You have a strong understanding of cloud computing solutions. You are a strong engineer who thinks of infrastructure as code (or even better, as config). You love the idea of building immutable infrastructure and fault-tolerant systems. You think of servers as cattle, not pets. You know what cloud vendor goodies are worth using, while still keeping an eye towards avoiding vendor lock-in. While you understand the need for monitoring and alerting, you dream of building self-healing systems. You believe in collaboration, acting as a force multiplier, and making the right tradeoffs. And you have been looking for an opportunity to join a company where you can use your powers for good.
What would make you a good fit:
5+ years of experience as DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer / Operations Engineer using Linux systems
Familiarity with building and managing AWS (EC2, EBS, S3, etc.) or another cloud provider
Familiarity with Docker and container orchestration technology like Kubernetes
Experience with monitoring and alerting systems
Experience running and managing persistent data stores like PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch
Experience with configuration management software such as Ansible
Strong collaboration skills—experience working directly on a team with software developers, and also working with product management, data science teams, etc.
Familiarity with trunk-based development and continuous delivery
Ability to secure Linux systems, stay on top of updates, and run penetration tests
Good at dealing with ambiguity
Experience with on-call rotation
