 As a Lead DevOps Engineer you will build and maintain our various product and development platforms.  This position is an operational engineering role and you will be an integrated part of our product development teams.  You should be an excellent communicator and able to bring the rest of the team along with you in designing and building infrastructure solutions.  Given a mission like "figure out how to move our application from AWS to Azure" or "build a continuous integration system for the team", you should be able to put the entire system together and come up with end-to-end solutions.  You should be proactively looking for holes in our platform that can/should be filled from an operational stability and scalability standpoint.  You will be writing software to configure servers, not manually configuring them each time.  You won’t be deploying code; you will build tools so that anyone in engineering can deploy their code.  You won’t be monitoring alerts, you’ll be building scripts / tools to resolve production problems automatically.  You will influence, prototype and determine what technologies to use at Rise.  You will mentor other team members and help the teams overall knowledge grow wider and deeper.
