We are looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to join our team here at WatershedLRS. Come work alongside our software development team, deploying the applications we create in our AWS hosted infrastructure. We are a remote/in-office hybrid company located in Franklin, TN. While we give preference to local candidates, we are open to qualified remote candidates residing in the United States.

Our DevSecOps engineers are responsible for keeping services running smoothly. The DevSecOps team owns the low-level infrastructure and monitoring of all services. They share ownership of the build and deployment pipeline for our products. The team also provides advice in product and application development.

As a result, your day-to-day work will often vary. You can expect to:

• Tune monitoring of application, systems, or AWS metrics
• Identify and build in-application metrics
• Design and implement infrastructure cost-savings measures
• Assist with debugging of production issues and try to prevent their reoccurrence
• Act as an internal resource for development teams; Provide a specific focus on improving reliability and performance
• Improve our internal automation, especially through the use of "Infrastructure as Code" tools
• Implement new features in our infrastructure control plane
• Participate in an on-call rotation for production-impacting issues

We're not hung up on a particular amount or type of DevSecOps experience, but we are adamant about a particular level of skill. We develop web applications, so familiarity with the typical web stack is critical. You will need a mix of strong software development skills and systems administration. The ideal candidate would have at least 2 years of experience.

On the operations side, we are looking for broad knowledge of:

• DNS, CDNs, load balancers, web servers, app servers, and databases
• Networking concepts like the basics of TCP/UDP, RFC 1918 subnets, and NAT
• Very comfortable with the Linux CLI

On the development side, we want a candidate with broad knowledge of:

• Reasonable familiarity with HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Some experience with "backend" tech such as Java , C#, Go, or Python

Finally, we expect some familiarity with modern operations tooling. Specifically, we'd like some experience with "Infrastructure as Code" tools like Terraform or CloudFormation, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet.

At Watershed, we use a variety of technologies. Specific experience with the following tools is not required by any means. We are looking for someone with broad domain knowledge. However, we value transparency, so this is what our world looks like today.

• Git for our version control, hosted on GitHub
• AWS for hosting, actively using EC2, RDS, CloudFront, Route53, ELBs, Lambda
• Jenkins Pipelines test and build orchestration
• Python utilities for infrastructure glue and automation
• CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and BetterUptime for monitoring and paging
• MySQL databases
• Elasticsearch as a data store
• AWS OpsWorks and CloudFormation for infrastructure
• Chef for resource provisioning

That being said, we aren't standing still. We are bringing our tech stack in line with our sister companies and would value any experience with

• Ansible for resource provisioning
• Terraform for infrastructure as code
• Kubernetes, Helm and EKS
• Python for internal web applications and automation
