What We’re Looking For:

Dev Ops engineers are passionate about mission critical systems deployment, management, and monitoring. Our product line covers many diverse areas such as distributed service-oriented architectures, low-latency telecommunications processing, and high availability. Each of these areas in a mission critical environment contains their own unique and difficult problems to solve. As such, a strong technical foundation coupled with the desire to learn, grow, and solve hard problems would make for a strong addition to our team.

Candidates will work within a system engineering team to collaboratively support a major customer program. The team will collectively be responsible for overseeing integration and deployment of network management software; interfacing with 3rd party data collection stream(s); establishing workflows to automate deployment, configuration, and monitoring of hardware/software systems; configuration, remote management, and troubleshooting of test/lab equipment, including root cause analysis; working with software and hardware development teams for requirements, integration, testing activities.

Candidates are strong Dev Ops engineers with over 5 years of experience who can bring innovation to our system deployments. You will help us enhance our capabilities in software continuous integration, automated deployments, log collection and analysis, and hardware and software monitoring. You’re able to learn, select, and integrate new technologies independently. You enjoy and are looking to move into technical leadership by mentoring and guiding junior engineers.

Candidates with skills/experience in any of the above areas are encouraged to apply.
