Relentless: Cogniters are relentless in their pursuit of innovation. We are determined and deliverable (never ruthless or reckless), facing challenges head-on and viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth. 

We are looking for a Infrastructure Software Engineer to join our infrastructure group. Infrastructure in Cognite is responsible for our foundational infrastructure and the internal developer platform. This means everything from provisioning cloud infrastructure with Terraform through supporting our service teams with CI/CD services and ensuring they have working observability and alerting. In addition, we build an internal developer platform to reduce cognitive load for our developers. Our success is measured by how easy it is to be a productive developer in Cognite and the quality of the infrastructure we build.

You will work together with other engineers in the team across a wide range of services, choosing to focus where the effort will have the largest impact. Our tech stack is built on Kubernetes and cloud technologies, using GitHub, Jenkins and Spinnaker for CI/CD, Prometheus, Grafana and Lightstep for metrics and observability. We run across multiple clouds, currently Google Cloud, Azure, AWS, and OpenShift. A strong understanding of the underlying concepts and ways of thinking in the infrastructure space is more important than familiarity with all of the tools we use.

• Work with other engineering teams in Cognite to improve and adapt their services to run smoothly on Kubernetes

• Tackle and solve challenging problems in areas such as network security, continuous integration, continuous deployment, monitoring, tracing, authentication and authorization, and secret management in a multi-cloud environment
• Help shape the culture of the infrastructure team as well as the wider overall culture of Cognite

• Broad experience with DevOps practices such as CI/CD and Infrastructure as code
• Experience building scalable solutions
• Cloud experience is preferred, but a keen proven interest can compensate
• Software development experience, preferably with Go or Python
• Familiarity and experience with our tech stack is beneficial
• Passionate about automation 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
• Adaptability and resilience; comfort in startup environment, thinker, builder and continuous improvement
• Continuous learner; naturally curious, and always ready to learn
