Basic Qualifications
About The Role & Team:
The primary responsibility of this role will be to engineer and automate solutions to support new platforms and tools for the modernization and improvement of CI/CD, Cloud Services & Reliability initiatives. Effort will be focused on parallelization and how to improve security and quality of the artifacts that the platform produces while minimizing build times. All work is performed utilizing Terraform, so competence in various languages will be needed. Some examples include systems management and automation through authoring and maintenance of Terraform, Python, and shell scripting.
The estimated breakdown of time spent on responsibilities are as follows: 50% of their time spent on scripting new tools and terraform module creation and implementations, 25% on Harness.IO implementation while promoting automation, driving tool adoption, and sharing best practices for Harness.IO. The last 25% will be spent on documenting, organizing rollout schedules, record keeping.
Required Qualifications:
• Minimum 5 years of related work experience
• Comfortable working in an agile environment
• Proficiency in terraform, CICD practices, cloud Technologies, System Design/Development/Scripting with a proactive demeanor towards continuous learning and skill development, and an interest in mastering emerging data engineering tools and methodologies
• Non-technical/Soft skills:
Effective Communication:
o Engineers must excel in both written and verbal communication. They need to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to various stakeholders, including technical and non-technical staff.
o During major incident calls, they should be able to convey business issues and concerns effectively to staff, peers, superiors, and external parties.
