WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The TechOps team is looking for leaders to help pave the way for maintaining, contributing to, improving upon and documenting the next generation of our large scale Cloud offering. At your core must be an insatiable appetite for technology, a deep passion for learning and a love for collaboration in an open and fun environment.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Individuals on the TechOps team will be cross collaborating with multiple teams to:

• Test features in our SplunkCloud offering.
• Develop and update documentation around configuration and infrastructural changes.
• Executing configuration and infrastructural changes on customer cloud environments.
• Leading customer related incidents in troubleshooting the SplunkCloud platform.
• Develop/update automation tools.

YOU SHOULD APPLY IF:

• You have operational experience at scale. You have had hands-on roles that deal with operating systems (particularly Linux) and networking. You have worked with cloud technologies (particularly AWS). Your previous job titles might be something close to systems admin, network engineer or devops engineer.
• You're passionate about your work. Our customers are passionate about Splunk and we want the same from our engineers. You should enjoy actively being responsible for your work and be excited about your projects.
• You have experience in incident related participation/management.
• You love large complex systems. Experience in working on distributed systems or a passion for finding edge cases that appear at scale. You are interested in how to bring something from a small one off task to how to implement it across several thousand machines at once.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Must acquire the SplunkCloud Architect Certification within the first 2 years of employment.
• 2 - 3 years Linux experience.
• Basic to intermediate experience programming in one of the following languages (Python or GO).
• Must be able to work nights and weekends.

• Experience working with GCP or AWS.
• Powershell.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

• Opportunities to develop and grow as an engineer. We are always expanding into new areas, working with open-source projects and contributing back, and exploring new technologies.
• A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
• Breadth and depth. You are interested to work in an area that dynamically scales to meet the need of Splunk’s cloud offering. You want to go deep into optimizing how we automate every manual process and tedious task we encounter.
• Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe that mentors help both sides of the equation.
• A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. Honesty and collaboration are values we see as a core part of our team identity. We understand the value in open communication—working together to get things done, and to adapt to the changing needs of the team and individuals. This is reflected in both our internal communications and also in how we interact with our customers.
• Balance. We don't expect people to work 12 hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too. Want to work from home sometimes? No problem. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
• Fun. Work doesn't have to always be about working. We organize frequent team lunches and other optional team building events to help you get to know other members of the team in a more relaxed environment.
