This is a specific position, different from a classic SRE position. You’ll join the Self-Hosted team, dedicated to GitGuardian’s self-hosted product. This team is at the heart of the delivery for our most prestigious customers (representing 40% of our revenues).

As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll work closely with a Product Manager (who is highly technical) and the team’s Engineering Manager to ensure the development of our next self-hosted services and the high quality of our releases.

Your mission will be to:

• Design, develop and administer our Self-hosted infrastructure (Adapt the product to different types of customer infra).

• Ensure high quality, reliability, and security for our self-hosted releases (including incident management and troubleshooting).

• Enhance the release process (monthly releases) by adding more automation and quality checks.

• Enhance our releases for observability and troubleshooting.

• Helping engineering teams create and maintain new self-hosted services.

• Develop and maintain the infrastructure that serves our developers’ test environment (review-apps).

• Advocate DevOps best practices to engineering teams, advising them on possible architectures and expertise.

• Provide customer support (Level 3), eventually attending customer calls twice a month on average.

What makes this role unique?

The stack is highly technical, owned end-to-end. GitGuardian’s roadmap is ambitious, with several new services to launch and infrastructure parts to improve (eg: NHI Governance, customers infrastructure). You will have a direct impact for large international customers. You will join a team of experts and passionate engineers, willing to learn and share knowledge.

If you think you match at least 70% of these criteria, please apply!
