ABOUT THE TEAM:

As part of the Cloud Engineering team, you will be helping to design and build the core infrastructure platform that supports Tide’s global businesses. You will help us complete and evolve our new Kubernetes based deployment platform and roll it out to our new markets

You will work closely with our engineering teams to make sure our platform meets their needs and with our Information Security team to ensure we meet and exceed our regulatory obligations.

We are committed to a 100% Infrastructure-as-Code approach to infrastructure builds using Terraform and currently deploy exclusively to AWS. We also follow the GitOps model of application deployment and use tools such as ArgoCD, Helm and Crossplane to facilitate this approach. You will work closely with our Developer Experience team to make this model for deploying and managing services usable for our engineers.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Senior Cloud  Engineer you’ll be:

• Working as part of a larger Cloud Engineering team, comprising core-infra (your team), Developer Experience, and Platform Operations.
• Working with stakeholders to understand the characteristics they require from our platform.
• Writing Terraform and Helm charts to define our infrastructure and configure the middleware/shared services that support the platform.
• Working collaboratively alongside other senior Cloud engineers to define and implement best practices.
• Directly supporting engineers to understand what tools and access they need to effectively use the platform (and then working with Developer Experience to make sure those tools get built).
• Helping to identify, research and implement new technologies that will improve the platform.
• Promoting understanding of the capabilities of the platform throughout Tide’s engineering department.
• Mentoring and teaching (and being open to learning from your peers)
• Taking part in our on-call rota

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• Having an extensive career on the ‘DevOps’ track. We’re looking for 5+ years of experience and most of that should be in a DevOps/Cloud Engineering type role.
• Having spent the majority of your career working in Cloud hosted environments.
• You consider yourself an AWS expert and have recent hands-on AWS experience.
• Very strong Kubernetes, Terraform and Python skills.
• Knowledge of, or willingness to learn Golang.
• Having a ‘platform’ mentality where you understand that we’re building on behalf of our engineers who will rely on our services to build and innovate.
• Enjoy an environment where everyone’s ideas are heard and considered.
• Having an understanding of the GitOps pattern and experience in related technologies (ideally ArgoCD)
• Good understanding of the Kubernetes ecosystem and ideally some experience with services like Traefik, Linkerd, KEDA and HCP Vault.
• Happy to work in a highly regulated and security-conscious industry.

WHAT YOU’LL GET IN RETURN:

 

Tide does not have an employment entity in Romania and therefore we need to hire using a B2B model.

This means you will not be entitled to employee benefits such as paid vacation, sick leave or pension contributions.

However, in practice, B2B /long-term contractors at Tide typically take the same amount of time off as regular employees (25 days) provided they are meeting the expectations of their role and participate in the share options scheme.

 

TIDEAN WAYS OF WORKING:

At Tide, we champion a flexible workplace model that supports both in-person and remote work to cater to the specific needs of our different teams. 
While remote work is supported, we believe in the power of face-to-face interactions to foster team spirit and collaboration. Our offices are designed     as hubs for innovation and team-building, where we encourage regular in-person gatherings to foster a strong sense of community.
