As a Senior Platform Engineer at Vention, you will focus on establishing and promoting the DevOps practice to increase developer productivity, observability, and operational reliability through well-orchestrated automated services for code/configuration and delivery across multiple development and production environments. You will be responsible for managing our software inventory and lifecycle and ensure we have upgrade paths for our tools and software packages before they reach end-of-support status. You will also be responsible for ensuring that all of our cloud and embedded production systems have adequate monitoring for uptime and health.

You will establish troubleshooting best practices and create playbooks for dealing with emergency production downtime scenarios. Exemplary documentation skills will be needed to create guides and thorough inventory/statuses around our systems and best practices.

What you will be doing:

  • Build and staff a platform engineering practice at Vention
  • Be responsible for building and establishing Vention’s code pipeline, allowing for CI/CD and ensuring nimble, cost-effective development and demo cloud environments that are an adequate sanitized reflection of our production cloud systems, and similarly on the hardware side of things (deployments to embedded controllers).
  • Ensuring proper observability of all of production software
  • You will help establish troubleshooting best practices
  • Take full ownership of the DevOps discipline and work with development teams and senior management to ensure best practices are followed.
  • Work with development and security teams to establish deployment and continuous improvement of infrastructure services.
  • Support in establishing scalable, high performance and high availability production environments.
  • Help optimize our AWS cost and infrastructure and work with teams to help determine which AWS services will best serve our development and infrastructure needs.
Qualifications
  • 8+ years in DevOps/Platform engineering or in a similar software engineering role.
  • Experience with incremental building and caching.
  • Experience with dependency management.
  • Experience with managing and optimizing one of the following PaaS: AWS; GCP; or Azure
  • Experience in establishing server monitoring and creating automated reporting and observability.
  • Strong understanding of deploying and orchestrating containers (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.), targeting tiny and large hardware platforms (from arm-based embedded devices to large multi-tenant systems).
  • A solid understanding of cost trade-offs (at deployment, build-time, run-time, development-time, and with respect to hardware resources).
  • Configuration management & provisioning experience with knowledge of tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu and the infrastructure state management
  • Experience with GitHub actions
  • Experience with linux platforms, scripting, networking, etc.
  • Excellent teamwork and communication skills
