Tens of thousands of companies use Metabase every day to answer questions about their data. While we seek to become the de-facto self-managed open source analytics software for organizations everywhere, many customers want an ability to use Metabase without worrying about the operational details of self-hosting. That’s why we recently launched our Metabase Cloud product. We’re looking for operations engineers to help build out and run our new and quickly growing ‘Metabase Cloud’ hosted product.
You will:
Own and operate our application stack and AWS infrastructure to orchestrate and manage our hosted customer instances of Metabase
Debug runtime issues across the different levels of our application stack and hosting stack.
Develop and build our internal tooling and automation to manage the lifecycle of a hosted Metabase installation, from purchase to deployment, zero-downtime upgrades, and general operational health
Continuously improve our automated deployments and testing
We're looking for someone who:
Is thoughtful and careful
Compulsively automates everything and documents it
Is able to make solid technical judgements and back them up articulately
Has at least 5 years of experience building and operating production infrastructure, ideally on public cloud
Strong Kubernetes and AWS experience
Strong experience with IaC and Terraform
Can write high quality and readable code in a modern language (e.g. Python, Go, etc.)
Experience with modern monitoring stacks (e.g Prometheus/Grafana/Datadog)
Projects you could work on:
Multi-region hosting
Automate EKS cluster provisioning
Extend our CRDs and Operators
Improve the RDS sharding strategy for our multi-tenant platform
Unify and improve our CI/CD platforms
Collaborate with core application developers on changes to improve our application metrics, deployment speeds and CI integration.
