What You'll Do

In PE, a Senior Engineer defines the complex automation tasks and cloud architecture components for a given solution. Your role is to maximize velocity for platform and environment enablement for developers through leveraging a DevOps mindset and focus.



Slalom Build is looking for an Architect to join our North America team in the Platform Engineering (PE) capability. Our PE architects design and build the secure automation capabilities that enable our application and data engineers to unveil theixr products to the world. Our goal is to create the platform to make a product smart, secure, and fast, while minimizing toil. Youll be working hands-on in the cloud with some of the newest technologies out there. Youll build in AWS, GCP, and Azure using a wide variety of tools across the DevOps landscape. You name it, we work on it. And so can you.



What You'll Bring Senior Engineers in PE bring experience across software engineering and DevOps in production across at least one major public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure). We will tap into your knowledge of designing and implementing end-to-end continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines as well as your experience in configuration management and infrastructure as code (e.g., Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, etc.) Security is part of everything we do and will require your knowledge of fundamental cloud security (e.g., identity and access management, firewalls, etc.) as we build for our customers. As a Senior Engineer you will collaborate across multiple functional and/or technical teams to deliver an Agile-based project. You will be leveraging your growth mentality, bringing enthusiasm about learning new technologies quickly, and applying your gained knowledge to address practical business problems for your customer. Showing your ability to communicate with clients on a business level and translate their needs into technical solutions will be what maximizes velocity for the team.
