Lead Site Reliability Engineer

Nevaya are looking for our first Site Reliability Engineer/Infrastructure Engineer to help us scale both our product, and our software development process.

Nevaya operates several types of system:

  • A set of backend administration Ruby on Rails applications, hosted on AWS using ECS
  • A set of system integration APIs for backend tasks and customer operations needs, implemented as Node.JS AWS Lambda applications
  • A fleet of managed hardware routers, dynamic VPN infrastructure and individual docker + AWS instances for apps that need to live within the customers own infrastructure
  • Our infrastructure is mainly AWS, however we do use some VPS hosts and run proxmox internally for our own internal IT infrastructure. We use Mikrotik router hardware, HP switching and various brands of wireless vendors.

We are in the process of introducing Terraform for configuration management, in combination with Serverless Framework for provisioning our Lambda applications.

Nevaya systems also provision additional AWS infrastructure in customer specific environments as part of their normal operation so a creative mind is a must.  We work exceptionally hard to build software that looks after itself.

  • Be responsible for maintaining the reliability of our platform infrastructure.
  • Help set the technical direction for our infrastructure, ensuring that it continues to scale to support our growth in a cost effective manner.
  • Improve the process of developing, testing and continuously deploying Nevaya’s suite of applications and services so that they’re safer, faster and easier for engineers to work on.
  • Maintain and grow a DevOps culture, setting service design standards that allow product engineers to consistently design and maintain their code in operation.
  • Ensure we have sufficient logging, monitoring and alerting capabilities to know when the platform is experiencing abnormal performance and to be able to identify the underlying causes.
  • Support software engineers by pairing, teaching, mentoring, coaching, reviewing code and demonstrating the practices of an effective engineer.
  • Support the product engineering team in addressing issues arising from pen tests and other security exercises.
  • Assist our technically-skilled operations support team as a point of escalation during systems incidents.
