You’ll be working on the Afterpay Developer Infrastructure team!
As a Developer Infrastructure engineer, you’ll help our engineering organization scale by seeking to eliminate toil, build automation, and make our customers – other Afterpay engineers – effective. If you value empathy, execution-focus and communication, you will thrive here.

Developer Infrastructure broadly supports containers, orchestration, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, and observability. We implement modern tooling, including Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, Python, Buildkite, and the JVM – including Kotlin and Java.

• Container Orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS Fargate, Docker, CoreOS)
• Scripting/Infra automation languages (Python, Ruby, Bash, Rust, Go…)
• Continuous Integration Deployment & Delivery (CI/CD)
• Observability (M3, Wavefront, Prometheus, SignalFX, SumoLogic, New Relic…)

What you’ll bring:

• 1+ years of professional software engineering experience (self-taught engineers and bootcamp/coding school grads are welcome… no 4-year computer science degree required!)
• Proficiency in a language we use – Python, Ruby, Go, Java
• Experience leading a coding project(s) involving other engineers, including work that you may have done during a bootcamp experience or on your own
• Desire to learn, whether from your peers and mentors, or from independent research
• Appreciation for details and helping teams collaborate more effectively and efficiently (including your own)
• Kindness, maturity, and empathy for your customers and colleagues
