The Challenge

We’re looking to hire a new team member to join us on the SRE Platform Team.

‍

‍

‍

Our mission in the SRE Platform Team is to enable other teams to deliver work with substantial autonomy and help to maintain the reliability of the software services provided by the business.

‍

We collaborate across software engineer teams to product design, deploy and maintain resilient, reliable and secure systems. We use a variety of tools, scripting languages, and processes to develop, automate, test, monitor systems and troubleshoot issues. Additionally, we are responsible for developing and maintaining metrics to measure the health and performance of systems and developing strategies to improve system reliability, security and performance.

‍

Our main responsibilities include, among others:
‍
- Empowering other teams with the autonomy to deliver their own work independently.
- Assisting other teams in designing the architecture of the Audiense platform.
- The ongoing maintenance of the infrastructure to ensure system performance.
- Analyzing and managing the costs of our AWS infrastructure.
- Designing and implementing disaster recovery plans.
- Managing and reviewing the teams' access permissions.

How do we work

Our work culture is remote-first, and we have been working 100% remotely for more than eight years. Although we have an office in Córdoba, our teams (management, sales, customer service, marketing, product and engineering) are distributed across different cities: London, Málaga, Madrid, Córdoba, Barcelona, Vigo, Sevilla, Granada, Murcia, Chieti (Italy)...

‍

Our mindset, workflows and communication assume that we are all remote. Almost everything is documented in Github: growth plans, learning path, architecture, protocols, onboarding, playbooks, design system, UX guidelines, etc. We invest everything in our power in automating our daily routines to be as autonomous as possible to allow us to work remotely efficiently.

‍

You will be joining a cohesive team, (more than four years on average together), in a very collaborative environment in which you will feel cared for from the start of your onboarding.

‍

Each team applies different agile methodologies, but all follow some basic principles. We prioritize the features that bring the most value to our customers and, instead of setting deadlines, we deliver small increments so that we always have a functional and deliverable version of the features. Whenever possible, we try to keep the number of parallel tasks to a minimum. We have a few meetings scheduled but will not miss the daily meetings, biweekly sprint planning and reviews. We have regular 1:1s with the team leader and the CTO, and we do not hesitate to jump on to a hangout, if a Slack or mail thread is getting lengthy.

We believe in extreme programming as a development technique, so most of the time we do pair programming (yes, remotely) and TDD is our main tool for writing robust and testable code. Pair programming always helps us trust our code allowing for constant iterations. Once per sprint, we spend time on joint code review to detect possible glitches to prioritize. We do continuous integration, and we are in the process of extinguishing the branches to do trunk base development, there is a challenge here too.

‍

We have a culture of continuous learning, and we encourage this to happen during working hours. As a team we have made a pact to follow a learning path, so by joining Audiense, you are committing to it too. If you have followed a similar path, we are eager to get to know you and learn from your experiences, if you haven’t, we are looking forward to supporting you with resources, time and mentoring so that we are aligned.

‍

We are moving from a culture of silos towards a more t-shaped mentality. We are not looking for a specific tech expert in all the things we use but for someone that no matter what his/her vocation is, must be versatile enough to assume the tasks that provide the most value to our customers instead of the ones that better fit their skills.

‍

We expect you to feel aligned with these values and this way of working, but we also know that every opinion matters and would be very open to you showing us how to improve.
