Senior DevOps Engineer - Blockchain for the Internet

The company stack is a self-service solution that enables engineers to set up secure connectivity across all their endpoints in just a few clicks. If teams need to connect thousands of their endpoints, they can do so using our software agent in combination with container-orchestration systems like Kubernetes and configuration tools like Ansible.
 
Once devices are connected, The company controller automatically routes packets via the best possible path using our smart routing tech and leveraging all major cloud networks at once to form segmented flat networks. On top of this, we provide clear visibility and performance insights into each connection using our network management tool.
 
Digging more into the tech behind all of this, currently, most of our backend is written in Python, Node.js, and Go.

The infrastructure is running on multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud just to name a few, and Bare Metal servers), and is administered completely programmatically, via the company's Stack with integrations to Nomad and Terraform. We're using the most modern up-to-date services — Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Nomad, Ansible, QuestDB, PostgreSQL, NATS, Redis, ElasticSearch.
