Staff Software Engineer Cloud Foundations

About the role

The compute platform underneath GitHub, during a migration to Azure. Internal VM platform, fleet lifecycle automation, configuration management, base OS and container image pipelines, and the inventory layer that tracks it all.

The hard part is stated in the posting: build the new cloud-native platform while safely evolving and retiring the data centre services that came before. Migrations of this size are won or lost on the retirement half, and hundreds of internal teams depend on you not breaking anything.

US remote, Go with Ansible and Puppet. Fleet-wide reboot orchestration and immutable image pipelines are named.
