Site Reliability Engineer (AWS, DevOps, Python)

As a Site Reliability Engineer at EclecticIQ, you will help us further work on bringing two world together, Development and Operations ... by bringing Stability into Production.

We're just now kicking off with this role and SRE practice in general so you will have a chance to actually help us further define what this role and practice really means for us.

Here is how now we think of it.

You will be responsible for the reliability, availability, performance, efficiency, scalability, monitoring, and incident response, among other things, of the products and services that EclecticIQ delivers.

You’ll work within EclecticIQ's Delivery Team (small group of experienced engineers bringing our releases to life and then taking care of them later) along with several other Feature Teams as well as our Customer Success Team. Within the Delivery Team you’ll work on improving reliability and maintainability and be part in how we deliver our products and services but you'll also get to monitor, support, profile, troubleshoot and fix them.

With Feature Teams you'll work on striking the right balance between reliability and development speed by being involved throughout entire software development life cycle, from design and architecture, through implementation, deployment, and sustaining operation.

Automation will be your favorite word.

We are building our flagship product, EIQ TIP, using Python 3 on top of frameworks like Flask, SQLAlchemy and Celery. It relies on data stores like Postgres and Elasticsearch. The codebase consists of several modules/libraries spread over the application. There is a web based UI for end users that consumes REST API but also a lot of intensive data processing is happening in the background. 

We ship EIQ TIP for on-premise install as RPM and DEB packages along with all required third party dependencies and required documentation through our repositories. At the same time we run it ourselves for a subset of our customers in our own cloud. 

We work with software configuration management, various automation tooling, AWS, managing builds, running deploys and provide some cloud based services. On occasion, you will write some Python code and optimize the Linux-based systems our software runs on.
