Your Team
The Engineering team is focused on producing software that solves the most important problems facing digital forensics professionals today. Our algorithms make sense of data that is often hidden, corrupted, or incomplete. We write well-tested, performant code and build intuitive UIs because we know that minutes can make a difference in national terrorism cases and life-or-death situations.
We are a community of smart, passionate, humble people who recognize that solving the industry’s toughest problems requires constant collaboration, continuous learning, and frequent doses of humour – come prepared for emojis, GIFs, team jokes, and questionable Photoshop skills.
The Cloud Site Reliability Engineer will be an influential member of one of Magnet’s upcoming cloud- offering product teams. You will be a trailblazer in this space at Magnet, establishing DevOps patterns to be followed by current and future teams, and you will set the standard of excellence for how to operate and maintain SaaS products

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in “skills and experiences”. It’s more important to us to find candidates who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experiences they have been a part of, than to find folks who have “been there, done that”. We want to be part of your development journey, and we’ll learn as much from you as you learn from us.
• There are a few must-haves, but we will keep that list short:
• Bachelor’s degree in a Computer Science related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Significant experience operating a production SaaS application running on one or more major cloud providers (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP). Certifications to back it up are a bonus!

IN ADDITION, MAY HAVE SOME OF THE FOLLOWING SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES:

• Experience working with Web Applications specifically React
• Experience working with Azure DevOps and Jenkins, or similar tools, to implement CI/CD pipelines
• Experience troubleshooting and recovering from SaaS disaster scenarios (e.g. outages), while maintaining calmness under pressure and exhibiting excellent listening and communication skills
• Experience using Datadog, CloudWatch, or similar tools to troubleshoot production issues and create observability dashboards
• Experience writing and maintaining IaC (e.g. CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform) that provisions elastically scalable infrastructure
• Experience with performance and cost optimization of cloud infrastructure
• Experience implementing secure cloud solutions
• Experience writing and maintaining various types of system test suites (e.g. load tests, chaos tests)
• Experience working with one or more general-purpose programming languages (e.g. C#, Python, JavaScript)
• Proactivity around planning, organizing, and implementing large pieces of work efficiently
• Effectiveness at leadership, mentorship, and coaching – you encourage joint ownership of ops

• We’re looking for candidates that can provide examples of how they demonstrated Magnet CODE in their previous experiences.
