at Cornerstone onDemand in Portland, Maine, United States
Job Description
We are looking for the “best of the best” in the software engineering industry to support our ever-expanding infrastructure base across multiple geographically distributed datacenters in the cloud around the world. Sound exciting? In this role, you will be part of the Cloud Engineering (Infrastructure and DevOps) team responsible for all of Cornerstone’s production systems and services. Goal of the Cloud Engineering team is to achieve highest levels of efficiency and productivity using various tools, processes, and frameworks. You will be collaborating with some of the best technical minds in the industry and contributing to one of the best cultures in the industry
This position will work closely with the Software Development organizations in support of our state-of-the-art 24/7/365 production SaaS service offering. This critical position provides great visibility and individual growth potential for an ambitious Software Engineer professional, but also requires proven experience with exponential growth on a global scale. Because this role will work on our GovCloud region, only US Citizens are eligible for this role.
In this role, you will…
+ Own the overall health and performance of our infrastructure in AWS that serves our customer-facing applications and services. (This would include all AWS accounts created through our Region-as-Code initiative but not the domain team services hosted within. Some of the core components include Route53, Transit Gateway, and IAM)
+ Develop, test and debug automated tasks (Apps, Systems, Infrastructure) and manage orchestration tools like Jenkins and AWS lambda/Systems Manager.
+ Perform analytics on previous incidents and usage patterns to better predict issues and take proactive actions
+ Work with development teams throughout the software life cycle ensuring sustainable software releases
+ Build and drive adoption for greater self-healing and resiliency patterns
+ Lead and participate in performance tests; identify bottlenecks, opportunities for optimization, and capacity demands
+ Perform hands on management of cloud infrastructure and document cloud infrastructure and policies
+ Understand on premise policies, solutions, and technologies and integrate with the cloud infrastructure where applicable.
+ Understanding cloud security best practices and work with Security teams to design and implement a security infrastructure
+ Serve as a technical point of contact for SRE and help with communication of SRE Principles to projects
+ An example would be to re-factor individual account AWS SNS topic subscriptions used for alerting to a centralized model in a shared account.
+ Another example would be to develop a way to safely handle configuration drift in the foundational items such as the VPC and subnet configuration in an AWS account using our internally developed pipeline tooling.
+ All infrastructure is deployed through Jenkins workflows developed in Groovy script that use AWS native technologies such as CloudFormation and boto3 to create the AWS accounts and foundational services. Challenges include how to handle configuration drift in older accounts provisioned through an automation framework that has rapidly developed since the beginning of the project. Another challenge is to continually improve (decrease) the time it takes to provision a new AWS account, apply all foundational components, and hand it off to the consumer.
+ We built Infrastructure as Code but this requires lots of improvements. Like rewriting one system component from AWS EC2 to E?S
You’ve Got What It Takes If You Have…
+ Must be a US Citizen to work with our GovCloud technology
+ AWS experience along with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solutions Architect – Associate, Professional (would be a good addition) but not necessary
+ Mastery in at least two or more software languages (e.g., Python, Groovy, PowerShell etc.) with respect to designing, coding, testing, and software delivery
+ Adept in the development of automated tools (e.g., Jenkins, Ansible, etc.), systems, and services in multiple technology domains
+ Advanced knowledge of infrastructure components (e.g., networking, DNS, cloud services, orchestration tools, containerization, compute, and storage systems)
+ Proficiency in service-level changes to a system and troubleshooting components
+ Experience with Splunk or other log aggregation/monitoring tools
+ Experience in engineering solutions for metrics gathering/publishing and event collection/correlation across distributed architectures, automation, monitoring, intelligent alerting, random fault injections (Chaos Engineering), and self-healing
+ Experience in a highly regulated, standards compliant, production environment (SOC, ISO, etc.)
+ Scripting/automation experience
Preferred: AWS certification or other Cloud Certifications
