About the Role

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our Analytics team. This hybrid role combines infrastructure management with some software development to support our team's growing needs. You'll be responsible for maintaining our AWS infrastructure, build and deployment systems, and developing internal tools and services that enable our team to operate independently and efficiently.

You will be reporting to the Analytics Manager and will work closely with our development teams to ensure smooth operations, reliable deployments, and robust internal tooling.

The Analytics team develops mainly in Common Lisp. This role is more Python-focused, though knowledge of/openness to learning some Common Lisp is desirable.

The ability to communicate effectively in English, both in writing and verbally is a must. Knowledge of Spanish is not a business requirement.

Qualifications

As a DevOps Engineer, you will wear multiple hats, combining infrastructure management with software development:

Infrastructure & DevOps

• Maintain and improve AWS infrastructure for the Analytics team, including both production and development environments.
• Manage Jenkins and Gitlab build and deployment pipelines, ensuring reliable and efficient CI/CD processes.
• Monitor system performance and troubleshoot infrastructure issues.
• Implement best practice for infrastructure as code (AWS CDK) and enhance automation to reduce manual operations.
• Ensure security best practice across all systems and deployments.

Development

• Develop and maintain internal scripts and applications that provide services to other teams within the company.
• Create and maintain Python validation scripts for data processing and quality assurance projects.
• Build automation tools and scripts to streamline team operations.
• Integrate various internal systems and APIs.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.

Collaboration & Support

• Work independently to solve infrastructure and development challenges, reducing dependency on centralized ops teams - you will be the infrastructure expert on the team and the first stop for anyone with issues.
• Collaborate with the Analytics and broader organizational teams to understand and implement infrastructure needs.
• Provide technical guidance and support to team members on deployment and infrastructure matters.
• Stay up-to-date with AWS services, DevOps best practices, and (mostly) Python development tools.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, CloudFormation, etc.).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, preferably Jenkins, but experience with other tools (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) is also valuable.
• Knowledge of containerization technologies, particularly Docker.
• Professional experience with Python development in a production environment.
• Experience with infrastructure as code tools (CloudFormation, Terraform, or similar).
• Understanding of Linux/Unix systems administration.
• Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and collaborative development workflows.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills.

Desirable

• Experience with monitoring and logging tools (Sentry, CloudWatch, ELK stack, Grafana, etc.).
• Knowledge of database administration (PostgreSQL, Oracle).
• Familiarity with configuration management tools (Ansible, Puppet, Chef).
• Experience with serverless architectures using AWS Lambda.
• Knowledge of networking concepts and security best practices.
• Experience with data processing pipelines and ETL workflows.
• Understanding of Agile development methodologies.
• Previous experience working in a financial services or analytics environment.
