Manager Notes ::
The role is focused on cloud deployment and requires experience with automation, specifically Ansible, and knowledge of GitLab/GitHub and CI/CD pipelines
a blended Software Engineer/Site Reliability Engineer position that involves both coding and application support, expecting the person to take complete ownership from development to deployment
Need for candidates to possess all the mentioned skills in the JD and be ready to start as quickly as possible
Currently, the cloud environment is exclusively AWS, though the organization may potentially integrate other cloud providers more than a year in the future

Q/A
The role looks like a combination of a full stack developer & Linux administration.
- They won’t need to be Linux admins, they should have general knowledge of administration skills so that when clusters are deployed, they can debug

For front end technologies mentioned, Angular & React, is one used more than the other?
- They’re used 50/50
- Ansible skills will also be preferred as the process will need to be automated

What is the primary language on the backend?
Node & then Postgres is used to enter the data into the database
RDBMS skills will be major help; they don''t need to start anything from scratch we already have an application it''s already developed but we have few backlog tasks and support
We want the person to be helpful in coding and in supporting the whole thing

Extension & Long Term Goals
High chance of extension with contract to hire being a possibility as well.
