Senior Infrastructure & Cloud Engineer

Description

The company runs a technology platform for culture and live entertainment, used by over 300 million people a month across more than 55 countries.

Event creators use its data and technology to grow their events and reach new audiences.

The engineering team builds and maintains every service behind the company's iOS, Android and web apps.

This role sits in the Infrastructure & Platform team and covers AWS cloud plus dedicated bare-metal servers from external providers such as OVH.

You would focus on reliability, security, automation and operations across both environments, without physical datacenter work.

As a senior member, you would shape architecture, lead technical projects and resolve hard production problems alongside DevOps, Platform Engineering, Security and Software Engineering.

Hiring process: a 1-hour talent interview on the company, its culture and your background; a technical assignment to return within 7 days; then a 1.5-hour team interview to discuss your proposed solution and ask about daily work.
