Software Engineer, DevOps - Crypto Authentication

Description

The company is an early stage, fast-growing contender to transform the antiquated user identity space by eliminating the need for passwords, with backing from top investors such as Tiger Global, Lightspeed Ventures, SV Angel, Social Capital, Northzone, Placeholder, Naval Ravikant, Alexis Ohanian, Ryan Hoover, and Balaji Srinivasan. Our mission is to safeguard the trust between users and Internet services by establishing a secure and authentic digital identity.

The company's vision is to build the passport of the internet. We are looking for team members who are not afraid to push beyond the status quo and create the most straightforward, most secure, and most long-term sustainable identity solution for app developers and end-users. This is a unique opportunity to help us disrupt the world of authentication.

We are seeking to work with a curious, talented, and self-motivated DevOps Engineer with an insatiable appetite for learning and self-improvement. You are passionate about implementing infrastructure solutions to achieve high maintainability, availability, and scalability. As a DevOps Engineer on the team, you'll be working collaboratively with other amazing engineers owning everything that you build 100% of the way. You will flow seamlessly between building out solutions to improve deployment processes, operations procedures, and system metrics tracking to building out core backend systems, kick-ass features, and intuitive/performant APIs.

The company fully operates in a public cloud environment (AWS). We heavily adopt the infrastructure-as-code (IaC) philosophy. We believe in automating infrastructure and operations to scale. System imperfections and inefficiencies are the Bane to your Batman, and pragmatism is your north star.
