Job Title: DevOps Engineer

Location: Lagos

Description

• This role is open to recent graduate software professionals as well as candidates with some professional product software engineering and site reliability experience who want to join a global community of like-minded engineers.
• Help us shape the future of open source IT, devops, and IS, from bare metal to containers. Our goal is to revolutionise open source application and infrastructure operations.
• We are on a mission to reshape the world of software operations, using Python for next-generation infrastructure-as-code and blazing a trail to model-driven operations.
• We want to enable companies to run very efficient bare metal operations for high performance computing, private cloud, data lakes and analytics.
• To achieve this we need to invent some new technology, and we need to build some new products. In support of that goal we hire software engineers who are passionate about quality, reliability and devops, to join our regional devops teams.
• This team is part of our fully managed infrastructure operations organisation. We run many private clouds and Kubernetes clusters for customers around the world, which enables us to improve our infra-as-code products based on our own real experience, mirroring that of our users and customers.
• We work in Python, creating open source operations capabilities that simplify these operations for anybody, worldwide, who is building on Ubuntu.
• This team is a true devops team – one of our global monitoring and network operations centres. Most of the work is pure Python software development where we expect a focus on quality, design, documentation, tests and performance.
• The team is responsible for remote monitoring, using open source products. The team also enhances packages of opscode, and Ubuntu itself, to ensure our platform is the easiest, most robust, and best performing way to drive your data centre.
• This role is ideal for junior software engineers who want to work in Python, have a passion for distributed systems, and an interest in the entire Linux stack – from kernel to networking to virtualization and containers.
• It is a role that requires rigour in both code and customer interactions. Our DevOps Engineers are technically astute open source enthusiasts who are excited about cloud computing and are ready to join a global team charged with delivering world class services to our customers.
