Job Description

We’re looking for someone to join our Engineering team at Ferrum. Are you interested in building services to help hospitals detect and eliminate the millions of medical errors that occur every year? If so, read on.

What You Will Do

Ferrum is a distributed, fast-growing company where you will be wearing many hats and pitch in on different components and projects across the organization. That said, here are some examples of what you’ll do:

• Working with application developers to design and deploy services into multiple cloud environments
• Taking ownership of our build and deployment pipeline for application code and container images
• Implementing Infrastructure as Code best practices in order to maintain reliable systems
• Applying your Linux knowledge to maintain, extend, and scale our hybrid cloud platform

About You

You have experience with:

• At least 3 years of relevant DevOps experience
• At least 2 years of maintaining production environments using Terraform and other IaC tools
• Writing binaries, libraries, and microservices in Go or Python
• Release management and deployment methodologies
• GCP or other public cloud technologies
• Bare metal and lower level infrastructure

Preferred experience, but not required:

• Google Cloud certification
• With statically typed programming languages such as Go
• With Linux operating system internals, filesystems, disk/storage technologies and storage protocols
• A working knowledge of modern security practices (ex: remediation plans, CVEs, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, vulnerability scanners)
• Linux and physical networking (ex: routing, switching, Wireshark) as well as networking constructs in cloud environments
  
  You love efficiency and automation. Your work at Ferrum will have a huge impact on the business. You take pride in developing scripts, tools, and services to help the team perform at a high level and scale to new challenges. You should be proficient with BASH and familiar with Python–but Go is even better.
  
  You ensure the security of our systems and the privacy of our customers’ data. You keep up to date with security bulletins and CVEs. You’ve been a part of or even led remediation plans to swiftly implement fixes. You can provide architecture guidance for hybrid cloud solutions and implement them when necessary. You have experience and opinions on vulnerability scanners, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.
  
  You strive to take ownership of a project from ideation to delivery and maintenance. Your experience provides a framework for you to work independently on several initiatives which will provide significant and measurable value to our customers. Seek opportunities to develop horizontal technologies that benefit multiple teams. Build developer tools to increase efficiency of all teams at Ferrum.
  
  You communicate and document everything. At Ferrum, we are a distributed team. A culture of sharing and documentation allows everyone to work together. We are looking for a practitioner of clear documentation that is well-maintained.

And most importantly, you want to make a positive and lasting impact on the world. You understand that technology has the power to improve people’s lives and enrich our society.
