Junior DevOps Engineer
About The Position
You will develop and support tools used by external customer teams who build, deploy and operate Elastic Path’s Self-Managed Commerce solution. You will follow software development practices to implement, test, document and release these tools. You will work directly with customers when they need help using or troubleshooting the tools and their Self-Managed Commerce environments. The SMC CloudOps team does not deploy, operate and maintain infrastructure or services. Instead we develop tools, and we release those tools as source code. Our customers use those tools to deploy, operate and maintain their own infrastructure. We are tool developers, not IT staff. Our goal is to develop and support tools that help our customers be successful.
