2. We are Remote First - we champion a remote environment with a preference for asynchronous communication and a high degree of autonomy 
3. We are AI First - we are committed to using AI to accelerate our mission; AI is not just a tool, it’s a fundamental part of how we operate, innovate, and scale
4. We are Apolitical - we do not take a position on political or social topics, unless it relates to our Mission
5. We Live by Our Values - we role model our values 100% of the time
6. We Expect High Performance - we set a high standard and we’re not satisfied with being average

As our DevOps Engineer, you’ll be working with our Global Engineering team and will be instrumental in shaping infrastructure engineering and cloud-native deployment strategies.

Your key focus areas will be: 

• Cloud Infrastructure Management: Architect, deploy, and manage cloud environments using AWS services including CodeDeploy, RDS, S3, ElastiCache, Lambda, and DynamoDB.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Lead and maintain our IaC practices with Pulumi & Terraform (and Terragrunt as a bonus)
• CI/CD Pipelines: Develop and optimize continuous integration and delivery pipelines using Github Actions for streamlined and automated deployments.
• Observability & Monitoring: Implement and maintain observability tools such as Datadog, New Relic, Cloudwatch, and Honeycomb to monitor system health, performance, and compliance.
• Stateful Systems Familiarity: Architect and support stateful systems including MS SQL PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, and Kafka, ensuring high availability and reliability.
• Compliance & Security: Ensure adherence to industry-standard compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC2, ISO 27001:2013, GDPR) and implement robust security practices across all systems.
• Container Orchestration: Design and manage Kubernetes-based container orchestration systems and support microservice architectures, including service mesh integration and secret management.

To thrive at Humi, you’ll need to embody The EH Way - operating with focus, agility, and an obsession with impact. For this role, you’ll also bring: 

• Deep AWS Expertise: Extensive hands-on experience with AWS services, architectures, and best practices.
• IaC Proficiency: Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code, particularly with Terraform.
• CI/CD & Version Control: Expertise in configuring CI/CD pipelines using Github Actions and managing code repositories in Github.
• Experience with Kubernetes container orchestration, microservice architectures, and advanced observability solutions.
• Solid background in managing stateful systems like PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, and Kafka.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) to automate routine tasks and integrate systems.
• Demonstrated experience with compliance requirements (SOC2, ISO 27001:2013, GDPR) in a production environment.

At Humi, we don’t just talk about a better way to work - we live it. Joining Humi means:

• You will work remotely, with the flexibility to own your time and impact
• You will access cutting-edge tools to amplify your work, knowledge and outputs

• You’ll own ESOP (employee share options) in one of the world’s fastest-growing tech companies 
• You’ll also have access to a wide range of benefits that include: a very generous paternity leave policy, subsidised egg freezing (so you can make the choice that’s right for you, on your terms), a WFH office expense budget, and outstanding learning & development opportunities
