Chicago, IL

SRE and DevOps Consultant (Remote, Full time, Growing team!)

 PLEASE NOTE: At this time we are not reviewing or accepting any candidates located outside the United States and Canada.  And, YES, we are still hiring!  This job post has been up for a long time, and while we've hired some new amazing team members, we're still growing.

WHO YOU ARE 

You’re an experienced DevOps Engineer and SRE with a thorough understanding of the full CI/CD pipeline, and your current role just isn’t holding your attention. You’d thrive in an environment where you can take an abstract goal from idea to reality with little to no guidance. You’re an autonomous person who is able to efficiently manage any number of simultaneous initiatives with detailed clarity, and you want the freedom to work where you want, when you want, and with the kinds of projects you enjoy most. 

In your career so far, you’ve built: 
  • 5+ years experience in a professional cloud computing role 
  • Thorough understanding of the full CI/CD pipeline
  • Experience integrating with at least one enterprise auth system (SAML, LDAP) 
  • Experience deploying and maintaining multiple production-ready Kubernetes clusters
  • Experience deploying and maintaining enterprise applications to a Kubernetes cluster 
  • Experience in using Helm and writing Helm charts 
  • Experience in writing and publishing Docker containers 
  • Experience using and building GitOps workflows
  • Experience in writing Bash scripts and at least 2 programming languages in addition to Bash 
  • Expertise in at least two CI tools and two CD tools 

If that sounds like you, read on. We’ve got a place for you at Bitovi. 

You’ll fit in well at Bitovi if you are: 
  • Interested in development best practices 
  • Experienced in contributing to or using open source projects 
  • Flexible enough to work well autonomously or as part of a larger team 
  • Always developing new skills, trying out new technology, and testing new ideas 
  • Comfortable working with clients directly 
  • Equally at ease in a leadership or team role 

WHO WE ARE 

Bitovi helps companies create better software and applications. We’re driven by the desire to provide value - to our clients, to the technology community, and to our incredible team. 

Every day, we design and build a wide variety of high-profile applications built with tests, full docs, and a deployment process in place. We discuss and design architectures, review code, and research new front-end technologies. We talk to our clients directly, guiding them through the process, identifying potential problems and unknowns, and tackling challenges.  

We help one another freely. We keep a Slack channel called ask-help and it’s used constantly. We develop new skills, build better developer tools, and work on new types of projects regularly - and take the time to present at conferences, give trainings, and run meetups. We’re huge devotees of open source, and our community of developers is second to none. 

Our fully remote team consists of about 80 developers and designers located around the US and Canada, as well Brazil, UK, and Egypt. We welcome diversity and non-traditional paths into the developer profession - we want the right person, not the right collection of tech keywords.
