As a DevOps Engineer at Nexxen, you will be an integral part of an operations team that collaborates closely with a product-focused development team. The DevOps team serves as a gateway to Nexxen's extensive data center and cloud infrastructure, ensuring that services operate efficiently and effectively. You will be working with systems that handle millions of transactions per second, all while maintaining strict latency tolerances. Our clients, which include well-known brands, expect the highest levels of performance and availability from our services. In this role, you will be based in our New York office, following a hybrid work schedule that allows for two days in the office and remote work for the remainder of the week. The team is primarily composed of skilled Software Engineers who are well-versed in operating systems, and we are looking to enhance our expertise by bringing in a talented DevOps Engineer. Your daily responsibilities will vary, but you can expect to engage in activities such as instrumenting applications to leverage Nexxen's LGTM observability stack, co-designing and implementing software release automation, and utilizing common automation frameworks to manage state across the stack. You will also assist developer teams in harnessing functionality from various service provider APIs, write software or scripts to monitor systems and applications, and revise software designs to mitigate failures in other parts of the stack. Additionally, you will contribute to modernizing existing solutions with the latest advances in cloud technologies, ensuring that our platform can withstand various challenges, and providing first-line support for data stores and pathways. Participation in on-call rotations to respond to critical availability issues will also be part of your role.
