What you tell people at parties
"I've got my head in the clouds all day long."What you really do
- You maintain and improve our deployment pipelines, so the developers can smoothly and reliably release their applications.
- You create and maintain the infrastructure as code for our AWS cloud environment.
- You support developers in deploying their applications.
- You experiment with new technology to research future use.
- You automate recurring tasks to make your job (and that of the developers) easier.
How you do it
- You like to be challenged. You see the obstacles to get to a cloud-based infrastructure as an opportunity to learn.
- You share knowledge with your Tech Development colleagues to make them self-sufficient. Better teach a man to fish than to give him one, right?
- You stay cool when things break. You search for the root cause and dont stop until you find it. Once you do, you make sure this cant fail again.
- You don't wait for things to come to you. You go out and get them. You're self motivated, communicative and get things done.
- You work together, because you like to learn from your colleagues. You coach your team members and provide them with honest feedback.
- You have your own opinion and youre able to voice it in a constructive discussion.
Team
You will be part of the Cloud Deployment Team: a team consisting of smart, experienced and highly motivated engineers who want to take our IT Development department to the the next step in cloud infrastructure. The engineers in this team know everything about the systems of our web platform. Your team will be supported by a Team Lead, Product Owner and a Scrum Master.A day at the office
During the stand-up, you agree to work with Jamie (our cloud expert) on moving some domains to Route 53. The configuration is not complex, but you need to call with our current hosting provider. It's a bit of a challenge as it is hard to get the right information about what they are doing and when. However, you work closely with them and together you get it done by lunch.In the afternoon you talk to the Product Assortment development team and discuss how we can use data from Google to give customers assortment recommendations. You discuss different options for implementation with the team and agree to join them next sprint for a few days to create an API Gateway with some Lambda functions and an Elasticache Redis cluster.
At the end of the day, Frank (senior developer from your team) demonstrates the new solution for the assets of the website. They are now being served from an S3 bucket, with CloudFront caching in front of it. It works great, so well take it into Production next week. After that, it's time to go out and have a nice specialty beer. You do check your beers in Untappd, right?
