Wanted
Senior or Mid-level cloud systems engineer that wants opportunity to grow in a startup cloud software team with proficiency in English.
The Gig
You would be our first DevOps/systems engineer – we are currently using an outsourcing company for these jobs. You would work with them and review their current processes then help us develop a plan to build out an internal team and adopt, replace and improve the systems set up by our current outsourced team.
Our Product
We have an API backed Angular cloud application with customers all over the world that serves small retail businesses.
While we do not expect you to have experience with all the technologies we use, we do expect experience with several and a willingness to learn the rest.
Job Location
Our application is developed out of our office in Yerevan, Armenia. While we would prefer you to work from our Yerevan office, depending on your skill set – but we will take into account your time zone and whether you can significantly overlap your day with our development and management teams.
Hours of Operation
Our application is developed from our development office in Armenia while our customer base is primarily in North America. The bulk of the work can be done during Armenian business hours, but we need emergency coverage during US business hours in the event there is an issue. NetOps team members will need to have flexibility in their schedule to respond to emergencies.
