Sr Developer Velocity Engineer

Description:

Job Description

Lightstep enables teams to detect and resolve regressions quickly, regardless of system scale or complexity. We integrate seamlessly into daily workflows, whether you are proactively optimizing performance or investigating a root cause so you can quickly get back to building features. We continue to grow our talented, low-ego, team! We believe that we should always align our actions toward a common purpose, that trust is paramount and must be cultivated, that the most valuable team members multiply rather than add, and that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously (except when we’re writing way-too-long sentences about our values). We believe that assembling and retaining an inclusive and diverse team is the best way to grow a successful company.

We created Lightstep because we understand the massive architectural transformation underway in the software industry, and we saw an opportunity to accelerate it, all while improving the quality of the developer and end-user experience. While we learned a great deal from our experiences building Dapper (Google’s distributed tracing solution) and Monarch (Google’s high-availability metrics solution), Lightstep is in many ways a reaction to and a generational improvement beyond those approaches. Our story as individuals and as a company revolves around continuous learning, careful listening, and the belief that these fundamentally new software architectures require fundamentally new solutions.

What you get to do in this role:

As a Sr Developer Velocity Engineer, you will own our developer experience, ensuring that our engineers have all of the best tooling and support to do their jobs efficiently and enjoyably. We're looking for someone who is passionate about continuously improving the way developers work, while treating those developers as the primary stakeholders in the journey.
Qualifications
To be successful in this role you have:

• You have 4+ years of DevOps experience.
• You are excited to optimize the developer experience.
• You have familiarity with some or all of the following: Codefresh, CircleCI, Git, test frameworks, builds, packaging and deployment, container technologies and automated developer environment creation.
• You may have a particular area of expertise, but are still excited to explore new areas (and want to work with a team that encourages you to do so).
• You value empathy as much, if not more, than intelligence in your teammates.
• You’ve worked on (and/or have a lot of curiosity about) large-scale distributed systems, performance, security, and microservice-based architectures.
• You're excited about serving the engineering team that developers at dozens of companies rely on for 5 9's and firefighting!
