What you will do

• Together with your team, you’ll lead all topics regarding our cloud architecture and DevOps culture within Taxdoo. We want you to push us so that our infrastructure and way of working gets even leaner, faster, and smarter than it already is.
• At Taxdoo we live leadership differently: we work and decide as one team. We are experts in technical and people leadership. Your role will be to lead with your technical expertise, which is why your official title will be “Senior Staff DevOps Engineer” – the highest engineering title we have.
• The team is responsible for improving the overall product development: which AWS services should we use? How can we improve reliability and scaling? Can our pipelines be made more efficient, our monitoring more powerful, our security even stronger … to name just a few aspects.
• Our team members are hands-on when impediments need removal and enable others to do so on their own as well. It’s all about collaboration and making our product teams a little bit more effective every day.
• We’re passionate about automation and optimizing processes, infrastructure-as-a-code, leveraging the power of CI/CD, developing or recommending tools that really can help the teams.
• We promote a culture of continuous improvement and a holistic view of the development lifecycle: We build it, we run it, we monitor and test to inform the next iteration.

What you are good at

• You have 6+ years of experience building cloud-based applications and setups using AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, Cloudfront, RDS, and Organizations as well as GitLab.
• You showed an aptitude in delivering successful SaaS products (using Java/TypeScript, React, REST/GraphQL, MySQL) and relevant methodologies (e.g. A/B Testing, Feature Flags, Canary Releases, BlueGreen Deployment, TDD/BDD).
• You have excellent knowledge in AWS, infrastructure-as-a-code (CDK, Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Chef or similar), Docker, CI/CD (e.g. GitLab CI, Github Actions, Azure DevOps Pipelines), and DevSecOps (Prisma Cloud, Sysdig Falco, WhiteSource, BlackDuck, OWASP ZAP, Docker Image Scanning).
• You feel right at home using agile development processes and methodologies, understand that planning ahead and being agile are not contradictions.
• You have excellent communication, presentation, interpersonal and analytical skills, including the ability to communicate complex, interactive design concepts clearly and persuasively across different audiences and varying levels of the organization.
• You have demonstrated the use of metrics and usage data analysis to generate new requirements and analyze defects for cloud-hosted solutions.
• Most of it all, you are passionate about DevOps and the modern DevOps toolset.
