Cloud Development Engineer

You will work in our Platforms team to develop cloud architecture and manage infrastructure. The Platforms team is responsible for cloud and on-premises environments.

At Ava you will make a defining contribution to the development of our new disruptive product, which is a next-generation security solution, by:

• Developing cloud architecture for R&D
• Implementing Ava Reveal across different platforms
• Managing infrastructure across cloud and on-premises environments, including Google Cloud Platform, AWS and vSphere
• Adopting a security first mindset across everything you do
• Improving existing work, in regards to processes and tools
• Staying up to date with the latest developments within design and technology, and suggesting short- and long-term solutions.

Together with our video security department, you will also get the opportunity to shape our unified security solution.

You’re not expected to have all of the following skills, but they will be useful in performing your job.

We are looking for someone who:

• Can demonstrate outstanding technical ability
• Is a passionate technologist with impressive infrastructure knowledge
• Takes pride in what they do and is as committed to airtight tests as to implementing shiny new features
• Likes to find or develop - and then use - the right tools for the job
• Enjoys using chaos-engineering principles to make an entire system robust
• Wants a career where their creative abilities will make a difference to the world of technology and where they will be part of an impressive R&D environment
• Is proficient in English.

It is also considered a bonus if you have knowledge of: 

• Cloud architecture development, ideally across Google Cloud Platform or AWS
• Infrastructure as Code and tools such as Terraform
• Docker, Kubernetes and Elasticsearch
• Languages including at least one of Bash, Python or Go
• The continuous deployment mindset and applying test-driven development to infrastructure
• Cloud monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.

At Ava Security we default to programming using Go, but also use a wide variety of different languages and frameworks. It's not expected that you would be familiar with Go (or any of the other languages we use) but you should be enthusiastic and willing to learn new things.

We are looking for a team player who thinks holistically, enjoys solving complex problems and thrives working autonomously, while not afraid to ask for input and learn from their teammates if they’re stuck.

All experience levels will be considered.

Does this sound like you? We'd love you to apply, even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements and qualifications.
