Is the list of technologies you’ve put your hands on a mile long?  Do you love to work on the latest and greatest stuff like Docker, Redis, Spark, Kubernetes, you name it, and build new from the ground up?    

LendingTree is searching for the next dev ops rock star to help rock our automation world and be a part of the team that builds the next generation of our deployment and infrastructure provisioning platform.  If when you hear about a new system, you’re insatiable curious and you’ve got the systems chops to get it up and running (in dev we hope) in a flash, then this is the role for you.

Primary Responsibilities:

Desired Skills and Experience

  • Build and extend the automation tools for infrastructure provisioning, dynamic scaling, test automation and code deployments across all environments.
  • Working closely with engineering, refine and improve the release management framework to support an always-on, 24x7 environment. Money never sleeps, neither should our infrastructure.
  • Provision and manage platform level services such as logging infrastructure.
  • Help troubleshoot issues at any level of the stack, from the OS up to the app.
  • Continually drive better metrics and monitoring initiatives to ensure alerts fire when needed and the system stays up despite the unexpected.
  • Strong exp. managing Linux infrastructures
  • Exp.with one or more provisioning automation tools (SaltStack a big plus, or Chef, Puppet or others)
  • Exposure to one or more containerization services such as Docker or Mesos
  • Exp. plugging automation into CI tools like Jenkins or TeamCity
  • The ability to understand if not write code is important. The ability to script is a must.
  • Must be able to work creatively, calmly, flexibly and under tight deadlines in order to respond quickly and positively to shifting/multiple demands and opportunities.
  • Ability to exercise independent judgment and creative problem solving techniques in a highly complex environment using leading-edge technology.
  • We are a meritocracy, not bureaucracy
  • Flat structure, very minimal oversight
  • Dress code – we don’t have one. (Flip flops, shorts, jeans. . . whatever.)
  • We don’t even keep track of how many paid vacation days you take! (of course your manager’s approval is needed before you take off on your family vacation.)
  • Great perks: $3 catered lunches Mon. - Thurs., free bagels every Fri., on site gym (employees are encouraged to workout during the day. “Is that really true?” Yep!)
  • Great benefits and good work life balance
