Systems/Infrastructure Engineer

Malta

Yieldstreet is hiring an Infrastructure Engineer to work within the team responsible for all of our technical infrastructure. Our suite of reactive applications are served on AWS. The job is to ensure that everything runs smoothly, the lights stay on, and we have prepared for bad luck with good planning. 

This role is for someone who has experience operating cloud native applications. You will be working within a team of highly skilled individuals that are partially remote and reporting to our Infrastructure Engineering Manager.

About The Role

The most important job on the Infrastructure Engineering team at Yieldstreet is to keep the applications available. This means planning for the worst and working with product engineering teams to ensure we have the proper resources available and provisions in place to fail gracefully. 

Here are some examples of things you might work on:

Build Infrastructure

  • Work with software teams to determine the best infrastructure and middleware to use for their applications. This could include choosing database engines, benchmarking server configurations, working with consultants and validating those assumptions with our service providers.
  • Develop automation tooling to ensure there is as little human interaction to keep builds repeatable and measurable. You will write Terraform modules and code to deploy infrastructure, Python/Golang code to automate additional processes not covered by those applications.
  • Have an eye for good security principles and practices when building infrastructure solutions.

Develop Pipelines

  • Automation is a first class product in the Infrastructure team at Yieldstreet, this includes the building and deployment of applications. You may work on improving our build tools and the underlying jobs they run to create application artifacts.
  • Develop optimal deployment patterns for our applications which can include static code analysis for security and language linting, container layer security scanning, infrastructure performance and unit testing.

Increase Reliability

  • Develop testing plans and drills for restoring backups and our disaster recovery environment.
  • Continue our practice of Observability by discovering new metrics that impact our SLO’s.
  • Work with our test engineering team to develop random failures (chaos engineering) to ensure that our services are resilient and can fail gracefully.
  • Respond to critical incidents and participate in blameless post mortems over the following days as well as follow ups to ensure our system and our processes prevent those failures in the future.

Tools we use:

AWS, Kafka, Terraform, CDN, WAF, Kubernetes, Argo-Workflows, ArgoCD, Github, Vcluster, Telepresence, Serverless Framework, Golang, Python, Bash, MySQL, Redis, Neptune, Monitoring tools (Grafana, Prometheus, LogStash, OpenSearch, Otel, Datadog)

What you'll need:

  • 3+ years of work experience working in a similar role.
  • Knowledge of cloud providers (preferable AWS, GCP or similar)
  • Knowledge around infrastructure automation (preferably terraform, cloudformation or equivalent)
  • Good knowledge around Virtualization and Kubernetes
  • Good working knowledge of Load balancers, web servers, CDNs.
  • Ability to write python or Golang code.
  • Experience around monitoring and observability stacks (ELK, datadog, prometheus)

Nice to have:

Good working knowledge of networking knowledge around datastore (mysql, postgress) knowledge of messaging and streaming solutions (Kafka, Rabbitmq, or equivalent)

About You:

On the Infrastructure Engineering team, we are the first line of defense against issues in our system and thus you analyze every change in the context of a much bigger picture, assess its risk for the future, and how it impacts other applications in the environment.

You look to eliminate inefficient processes and time consuming work by automating at every opportunity for your team members and the broader engineering organization.  You enable developers to perform their jobs better, by providing appropriate tooling and optimizing cicd processes for efficiency, security and cost effectiveness.

You are pragmatic and you understand that your decisions can impact applications all the way up the stack. This also means you are willing to dump processes and procedures that are not productive and learn from those failures to create ones that do. 

At Yieldstreet, we have the goal of becoming the premier online alternative investments platform on the planet, and that means thinking out of the box to prevent the scale problems we will experience early on. You enjoy seeking opportunities to learn, onboard new tools, and teach.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
