Human Made, makers of Altis DXP

FullTime

<div><div style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0">Description Human Made is looking for a Principal Cloud Engineer. This position is remote but you should be based between UTC and UTC+5:30. As a Principal Cloud Engineer at Human Made, you will work to build and operate the cloud hosting platform underpinning Altis Cloud, which serves tens of billions of page requests every year. You’ll work alongside the rest of the Product team, building and operating the platform with other Product and Cloud Engineers. You will be required to support both client and developer requests relating to cloud infrastructure for projects and environments. The Altis Cloud platform is a containerised LEMP platform running on Amazon Web Services. The Altis software is based on WordPress, so you should understand the operational concerns regarding PHP-based applications. This includes familiarity with scaling considerations, security best practices, caching, and performance considerations. Knowledge of WordPress best practices relating to performance and security is an advantage, as this will allow you to contribute to code review and cross-functional architectural decisions, however this knowledge can be gained through experience on the job. Human Made uses Terraform to manage infrastructure as code, in addition to legacy usage of CloudFormation; you should have experience with and understanding of these tools. You should have a good knowledge of AWS and scaling LEMP-based systems. Some experience or understanding of containerised platforms (such as Docker and ECS) and Linux system administration is an advantage, however this knowledge can be gained through experience on the job. As a Principal Cloud Engineer, you will be on-call during (UK) working hours for any site availability issues that arise. Our globally-distributed nature means out-of-hours support is rare, but may sometimes be required. You should be a good, professional communicator when providing client support in the event of site outages or other issues affecting availability or maintenance. You’ll be responsible for either directly solving or coordinating support issues while you are on-call. Human Made is a remote company which means that you need to be able to work both independently and as part of a remote team. Good communication skills are essential to be successful in the job. You should be able to prioritise your work and meet any deadlines, communicating any problems upstream along the way. You should be prepared to learn new technologies, frameworks or software when required. These could be outside of your engineering comfort zone. You are expected to have a can-do attitude when tackling new technical challenges, working with team-wide decisions that may not be your own and dealing with client relationship frustrations.
