Trimble is recruiting for a Lead Site Reliability Engineer / DevOps to fill an opportunity in Westminster, CO.

Job Summary

VirtualSite Solutions(VSS) is a Joint Venture between Trimble and Caterpillar Inc. responsible for the development of Web and Mobile telematics software solutions for the construction industry. The joint venture is located in Westminster, CO with additional locations in New Zealand and Chennai India.

We are looking for a hands-on developer with a passion for automation to transform our build and deploy systems while providing guidance for our ops team. Come work on an exciting new project used in every country in the world with the latest technologies where your efforts will dramatically impact over 100 developers while saving the company money. You will be designing and improving our next generation continuous integration / continuous delivery system.

The ideal candidate will have a strong aversion to manual installs or any documentation that results in repeating tasks that could be automated. We need a self-starter, who, given a rough definition of success will drive to a solution utilizing necessary resources including custom programming. For example, we would expect you to have the ability to create a process to spawn x number of Jenkins slaves in AWS with all the necessary build tools installed. The ideal candidate must be comfortable with the unknown, and not afraid to try new processes and technologies. They should have the ability to identify multiple options and pick the best path. We also need someone who understands CI tools well enough to test and troubleshoot issues, then identify and resolve those failures. The candidate should understand networking well enough to troubleshoot and correct DNS and port issues.

SRE is a space that is rapidly changing and we are looking for someone who is not willing to settle for “we have always done it that way” thinking. This individual will need to be tenacious, and have a healthy disrespect for the impossible. This position will lead a small ops team.
