Devops Engineer 🔥
Overview:
A Covenant Eyes DevOps Engineer is a technical, hands-on position that will develop, maintain, and support our growing infrastructure and applications development. As a DevOps Engineer you will provide strategic, innovative, and cost-effective solutions to increase efficiency, reliability, and integration of our services and operations. The DevOps Engineer collaborates with systems engineers, security analysts, developers, and product owners to ensure the team is using the best approach to deliver services and infrastructure.
We are a leveraged team with almost every other department in the company depending on services we design, implement, and maintain at some point to perform their work; in addition, Operations is the first point of contact for issues with our customer-facing services. This means your team needs to be able to rely on you to satisfactorily complete requests on time and to quickly disseminate that knowledge. At times, you may need to cover for others who are out or booked on other work.
Time management is crucial in our environment. Operations work requires balancing day to day problem solving & innovation, customer responsiveness, technical knowledge & development, administration, communication, teamwork, managing complex changes, and more. The ability to manage time effectively in a job that includes production support –and thus is at times unpredictable– is a requirement for success.
Being great as a DevOps Engineer is not exclusively technical firepower, it also requires the ability to communicate well before, during, and after your work, mentor others, and leaving a trail of quality documentation. Responsibilities:
