SpotOn – Chicago, IL (In-House only, but relocation available)

SpotOn is a cutting-edge software company dedicated to redefining the merchant services industry. SpotOn combines payment processing with customer engagement and business management solutions, giving small and medium businesses the data and tools they need to run and grow their business.

Our tools increase revenue and connect businesses with their customers using rewards, deals, online reviews, website building, and data analytics. Tools like these were previously only available to big businesses with big bankrolls and their own developers, but our platform caters to neighborhood stores, independent retailers, and other small to mid-size businesses. We have our service deployed in many cities across the U.S. and Mexico.

SpotOn’s DevOps team is tasked with keeping our platform running smoothly and providing tools and processes for fast and efficient development to our developers. There is a mix of reactive request-based work as well as long term project work.

There is a wide range of environments and applications to support as part of the team, from helping to modernize our legacy monolithic platform apps to helping build and support our new services-architecture based applications. Our backends are written in python (Mix of Django, Flask, Twisted) and our front ends are mostly React based. Our infrastructure tooling is a mix of CloudFormation and Terraform, running mostly standard 2-tier web app architectures, with a view towards moving to containers as part of our services transformation with Kubernetes and Docker. We utilize Mongo, Postgres, and MySQL for our databases.

A strong candidate for this position will have good communication skills to work with various developer groups to achieve success. They should have a year or more of experience working on and supporting cloud-based web applications.
