How you’ll demonstrate Ownership

Infrastructure in Cognite is responsible for our foundational infrastructure and the internal developer platform. This means everything from provisioning cloud infrastructure with Terraform through supporting our service teams with CI/CD services and ensuring they have working observability and alerting. In addition, we build an internal developer platform to reduce cognitive load for our developers. Our success is measured by how easy it is to be a productive developer in Cognite and the quality of the infrastructure we build.

You will work together with other engineers in the team across a wide range of services, choosing to focus where the effort will have the largest impact. Our tech stack is built on Kubernetes and cloud technologies, using GitHub, Jenkins and Spinnaker for CI/CD, Prometheus, Grafana and Lightstep for metrics and observability. We run across multiple clouds, currently Google Cloud, Azure, AWS, and OpenShift. A strong understanding of the underlying concepts and ways of thinking in the infrastructure space is more important than familiarity with all of the tools we use.
