Data-focused, with an eye for the details that matter to solve the problem.
We are:
Passionate about building quality platforms and scaling technology to meet the needs of tomorrow.
Building solutions for BlackRock and over 100 organizations who use our technology.
Embracing containers, Kubernetes and modern, cloud-native technologies to super-charge our platform
Committed to open source and contributing back to the community.
Writing testable software every day, with a focus on incremental innovation.
You have:
Work experience on large scale software development and deployment.

Strong programming skills in Python, Go and/or Java with the ability and interest to learn other coding languages as needed.
Experience deploying and managing Kubernetes infrastructure using one of the major CSPs (Azure,GCP,AWS) and SRE best practices (SLOs, burn down alerting)
Experience with IaC development (Terraform, Crossplane, etc.) using agile and CI/CD best practices (test driven development, progressive deployment)
Experience with systems configuration management and automation systems (Puppet, Ansible) is a plus.
