Job Description :
Role: DevOps Architect (NO 3rd party candidates)
Location: Lancing, Michigan
Duration: 6 months
DevOps group is responsible to provide the tools and support necessary to help our core development teams manage, promote, release this software. They are also responsible for working with our infrastructure group to plan operational support including collaborative processes for promotion of build artifacts into secure environments. The DevOps engineer ensures that your developers are never doing repetitive tasks, and that the infrastructure is kept up to date as the stack evolves. As processes change and the company grows, the DevOps engineer automates as much as possible to accelerate work. Because of DevOps, developers can focus on their core work so you can deliver products earlier and more reliably." Over the next few years we plan to deploy a wider variety of web scale technologies such as Kafka, Mecmcache, shared nothing architectures, advanced caching of materialized views, etc. Each of these will have it's own challenges getting ready for production hosting. DevOps also provides a gatekeeper function so software that does not provide appropriate health checks and integration in logging and monitoring can be stopped before it is released. We obviously want this process to be as automated as feasible.
