Description
Our Client Cloud Flare is looking for a senior DevOps engineer to join their Team for a long term project to automate and orchestrate their systems.
About the Team:
We are a team of software engineers writing and running big critical distributed systems. When we deploy, we deploy on thousands of servers across almost 200 data centres all around the globe. We need help to push forward our automation and orchestration of our systems.
You will work on helping us improve our automation, tooling and replacing some of it with better technology. There is also the opportunity to help us writing Go for our distributed systems. What you'll do Quicksilver is Cloudflare’s distributed keyvalue store. It replicates our data all around the world, over thousands and thousands of servers and around 200 data centers. It handles all kinds of network conditions and is queried multiple times whenever a request crosses our network.
Project Responsibilities:
In this role, you can expect to work on automation and orchestration systems that deploy across thousands of physical servers. Systems that decide how the replication topology should be across our services. CI pipelines that allow us to deploy with confidence changes that affect immediately mission critical systems. Monitoring systems that allow us early detection of symptoms caused by performance and integrity degradation on our replicated database.
We use a variety of tools, some integrated with the company platform, some other are team specific which are required to connect and run all these systems as smoothly as possible. You will contribute directly on our orchestration, deployment and rollback plans, automation, operation, monitoring, alerting and troubleshooting. If working on non-trivial engineering problems to achieve reliability at scale excites you, you might be a match for this role.
