DevOps Engineer

at  Bridgit

Bridgit is a community of hard-working people who want to make a difference in the construction industry. Some of us have been here since the early days, while some joined more recently. Our average tenure is 3+ years and every employee survey tells us that our team loves the people they work with at Bridgit. We are proud of our average tenure but we also know that there is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ and sometimes individual and organizational goals simply don’t align.
We can talk about the perks and benefits that our team members are entitled to but those are icing on the cake. What you really get out of our environment is OPPORTUNITY - to build your career portfolio, to affect change (in your own team and in an industry as big as construction), to touch and solve problems you otherwise wouldn’t have known, to grow in ways you probably haven’t thought of. Here’s the fine print though - opportunities are only as big as the heart you put into it. That’s why we’re not for everyone.

In the last 3 years, our team members have been part of reaching the following milestones:

• A successful product pivot and building a market-winning position
• Series B Financing
• Top tier performance across all SaaS Metrics
• Paving the path to profitability
• The transition to remote-first working environment

Bridgit is like a big personality that walks into a room - you either love it or you hate it, but there’s no way you’ll ignore it. When loved, we’re loved fiercely. The ones who succeed here know how that feels.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

Current and future Bridgitrons embody these core values:

• Deliver results, fast. We are resourceful, adaptable and resilient. We hold ourselves accountable.
• Fixate on the customer. We obsess over our customers, seeking to better understand them, their world, their needs and their behaviours.
• Be open, be honest. We keep our minds open as we actively exchange feedback, drawing on our diverse perspectives.
• Win or lose together. We don’t point fingers when we lose, and we celebrate together when we win.
• Never stop learning. We continually set the bar higher.

Does that sound like you? Great! Here’s what else you’ll need:

• Strong scripting experience and are passionate about building diverse, robust tooling (Python, Bash, etc.)
• Knowledge of various cloud environments, most importantly AWS
• Experience in building and maintaining highly-available distributed applications
• Proficiency in monitoring and alerting applications
• Eagerness to participate in continuous integration and continuous deployment (GitLab)
• Good understanding of container orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Solid knowledge of Agile build and development processes
• Interest in staying up to date on current technologies and development methods
• Degree/diploma in Computer Science, Engineering, or ample practical experience
