We're looking to expand our Container Infrastructure team. In this role you work closely with other teams and trading desks to ensure the performance and reliability of our Kubernetes platform. The platform is large: hundreds of clusters, thousands of nodes, and dozens of components. Common day-two tasks include development of new components, monitoring costs, and ensuring compute consumption for each desk is optimized.

  • We believe our goal is to find the right solution rather than always being right.
  • We provide exceptional customer service to our teams and trading desks.
  • We care more that the right thing is done than about rigid job descriptions or boundaries.

What you'll do:
  • Work with different business units to ensure a successful onboarding and deployment of applications into DRW's Kubernetes platform.
  • Relentlessly automate repetitive manual tasks.
  • Provide exceptional customer service to our platform's users.
  • Solve complex problems, build new features/components, get to work every day with exceptionally talented and curious coworkers.

Your background:
  • Experience working with or administering Kubernetes Clusters.
  • Knowledge of networking, storage, and containerization fundamentals.
  • Familiarity with AWS and/or Google Cloud Platform.
  • A service focused attitude: you ask questions and focus on getting the right resources and solutions to people instead of rigid boundaries.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills. You can work across teams and have evidence-based discussions on technical and operational topics.
  • You are eager to learn, collaborate, and find solutions under interesting constraints.

Bonus points if you have:
  • Experience with common Kubernetes operators (Flux, Fluentbit, Fluentd, Prometheus, etc.).
  • Experience administering on-premise infrastructure.
  • Experience developing, deploying, and supporting full stack web applications.
  • Experience with multiple programming languages in both greenfield development and legacy maintenance.

The annual base salary range for this position is $180,000 to $210,000 depending on the candidate's experience, qualifications, and relevant skill set. The position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. In addition, DRW offers a comprehensive suite of employee benefits including group medical, pharmacy, dental and vision insurance, 401k (with discretionary employer match), short and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, health savings accounts, and flexible spending accounts.
