JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
As a Cloud Solutions Engineer, you will work closely with twelve other innovative and savvy people to engineer and expand a custom PaaS with new tools and technologies and collaborate regularly with product owners to deploy custom business and scientific applications. You'll help streamline our operations and processes, and further the adoption of DevOps best practices. A focus on innovation and automating best practices is a plus. To be successful in this role, you will like being a part of a team and be capable of teaching others and explaining the "why" behind complicated technical decisions. In this role, a typical day will include the following:
- Collaborating with product owners (researchers and software developers) to identify and design topologies for custom business and scientific applications in AWS as part of our container PaaS, or as a custom solution; providing guidance for adhering to best practices for optimal and secure use of cloud technologies.
- Assisting development teams in migrating their products from on-prem infrastructure to AWS, which often requires refactoring application architecture and breaking down monolithic applications into micro-service architecture or serverless workloads.
- Training product teams in technologies and frameworks to assist them in setting up the environment, build and deploy applications, and automate operational needs.
- Working together with other Cloud Solutions Engineers or independently to develop prototypes and enhance or expand fundamental capabilities offered in the PaaS, such as CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and containerized or serverless workloads.
- Participating in a daily stand-up meeting to report your accomplishments, plans for the day, and any roadblocks you encountered. Your team will do the same, giving you an opportunity to understand and contribute to other ongoing initiatives.
- Occasionally present to your team or our software developer colleagues, on DevOps best practices, new and interesting cloud technologies, and ways you approached and solved challenging technical issues during our Tech Talks webinar series.
Thanks!
