ABOUT THE ROLE

YellowDog (yellowdog.ai) is hiring a Senior Infrastructure Software Engineer to help develop its cloud native workload management and intelligent provisioning platform for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
As an operations-focused engineer, you will be instrumental in delivering a resilient and scalable platform for our state-of-the-art software services that help customers to schedule, deploy and manage their cloud compute optimally. Additionally, there are opportunities to work on infrastructure-based product features, such as our self-hosted offering.
We can help you get to grips with our tech, the domain and its ecosystems. Your work will have a positive resource-saving impact for our customers, currently across the financial services, media & entertainment, life sciences, and aerospace sectors.
We employ a variety of platform technologies for YellowDog services to run on, coalescing around Kubernetes and the cloud-native ecosystem and making use of many free and open-source tools. This role features a software engineering component, as we take a configuration and infrastructure as code approach.
It’s a flat team structure, and we employ an iterative, lightweight design process where everyone on the team gets to make input. We’re Agile and manage our work using a gentle Kanban process, regular short stand-ups, and we encourage a lightweight, productive approach to development with a highly automated release process that keeps people in the code and releasing as much as possible.
Joining YellowDog, you can enjoy the right mix of autonomy and ability to shape and influence your role.
