We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Devops team, where you will blend system administration and software engineering skills to build and maintain software that manages the infrastructure and services running in our data centers, which ultimately power all of our products. Wealthfront’s Infrastructure team is a team of “Generalists with Expertise” who adhere to the principles of “infrastructure-as-code” and bring strategic expertise for designing, implementing, maintaining, and improving our infrastructure. We're a modern infrastructure engineering team, believing strongly in automation and standardization through software. We operate in both physical data centers and cloud environments, and leverage open source technologies such as containers, MariaDB, NGINX, Jenkins, Chef, Kibana, and Grafana to deliver automated infrastructure to our clients and every member of the Engineering team.
As a member of the Infrastructure team, you will:
- Maintain our core infrastructure by writing software to automate application deployment, configure our infrastructure, and manage critical services such as our databases.
- Ensure that mission critical services operate reliably by triaging and fixing operational issues as an on-call engineer, participating in post-mortems, and implementing improvements to prevent future issues.
- Design, implement, and deploy internal tools and services to accelerate productivity of the wider Engineering team and enable direct ownership of operations.
- Help manage our server hardware in our physical data centers which may occasionally include travel to our Bay Area or New Jersey data centers for onsite projects.
- Be involved in key decisions regarding the evolution of our infrastructure
- Mentor junior members of the team
This role could be a fit if you have:
- Extensive experience with running and troubleshooting modern Linux systems and services in production
- 6+ years of experience developing reliable production-grade software in Java, Go, or other similar languages
- Proficiency with at least one automation technology such as Terraform, Chef, or Puppet
- Successfully designed and deployed mission-critical complex distributed systems
- Excellent critical thinking and communications skills with a desire to both learn from and educate your peers
- A BS or MS in Computer Science or an Engineering field, or equivalent professional experience
Once you join, Wealthfront will:
- Pair you with a 1:1 mentor to guide you through our onboarding program.
- Encourage you to lead impactful projects which match your professional goals.
- Support your professional development by providing feedback during weekly 1:1s and during our bi-annual reviews.
- Give you autonomy so you can be a happy and successful member of our team.
