Have you ever worked for a company that wanted you to bring your whole self to work every single day?

We are disrupting a typically stagnant environment by connecting companies of all sizes and providing them with the platform and network needed to create value from old processes like procurement, invoicing, payments, and workflow. We recognize that business is both messy and social - two revelations that have driven the development of Tradeshift, a platform for all your business interactions.

Tradeshift Culture. Our culture began day one when three Danes poured their brains, heart, and guts into creating a platform that could connect every business in the world. We expect each colleague to approach their work with the same amount of pride and passion. TradeShifters come from various backgrounds and nations, and we all thrive off challenging the status quo. We take pride in nurturing employee happiness, encouraging personal development, and welcoming teammates from all walks of life.

Do you believe in infrastructure as code? That repeatable work is something best handed off to your robot underlings? If so, Tradeshift is looking for a Developer Operations Engineer like you to join us in building our platform of the future.

We are experiencing a hockey stick of scale and, therefore, Tradeshift is looking for DevOps Engineers to help us with keeping our platform running smoothly and efficiently.

The Tradeshift platform is hosted on AWS and composed of a number of Java applications (with a dash of node. js and Scala/Akka) using RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, and Cassandra. All of our current infrastructure is highly automated with Jenkins, Rundeck, Puppet, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Consul, etc playing key roles. We need someone who wants to face scalability challenges on a global level in this type of environment and automate things as much as possible.

What a day is like:

- As a member of the DevOps team you will be developing reliable and resilient datastores. You need to understand and teach data access and storage nuances to ensure all service level objectives can be met

- You will strive to identify issues related to said code and troubleshoot performance bottlenecks across the platform with a focus on databases

- We work with Postgres databases deployed either on their own AWS EC2 instances or using RDS

- You need to be able to understand relevant database metrics collected in Datadog or Grafana and come up with improvements and help mitigate production database related incidents

- You will be working with tools that allow our infrastructure to be described as a code, such as Terraform, Vagrant, Consul, and Vault and with configuration management tools like Puppet. You will be working with relational and non-relational databases like Postgres, ElasticSearch, Cassandra and help us plan disaster recovery

- You will also heed the advice of the security team in order to close potential loopholes

- You will work together with the Developer and Site Reliability Engineer teams in order to help them for troubleshooting purposes, recovery and other tasks requiring in depth relational database knowledge

- Extended knowledge on troubleshooting large scale database installations;
