Employer job description
From Slate Auto's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
ABOUT SLATE
At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.
Who we are looking for Slate is looking for a Staff DevOps Engineer to set the technical direction for how we build, run and operate our infrastructure, and to build a large share of it yourself. We don't separate DevOps from SRE. The team that builds the platform also runs it, carries the pager, and is accountable for its reliability.
Our AWS foundation is in place: a governed multi-account environment, private connectivity between the cloud and our sites, and infrastructure as code throughout. Next is a hybrid Kubernetes platform that spans Amazon EKS and self-managed clusters in our own facilities, serving our digital, data, manufacturing and enterprise teams. You will design that platform and help ship it.
This is a hands-on role. You'll lead through architecture, code and example rather than through direct reports, and you'll take your turn on call like everyone else on the team. You will report to the leader of the DevOps team and work closely with Digital, Data Engineering, IT, Manufacturing Systems and Security.
The Hands-On Architect: You design systems and then build them. You're as comfortable writing a design doc as you are writing a CDK construct in Python or a Helm chart, and you can tell a platform people choose to use from one they are forced to use.
The Reliability Owner: You think in SLOs and failure modes. You've been paged at 2 a.m., you've written the postmortem, and you've made sure the same thing didn't page anyone again.
The Hybrid Thinker: You know when a workload belongs in the cloud and when it belongs next to the machines it talks to. You weigh latency, cost, data gravity and operational burden, and you can explain the trade-off to people who don't work in infrastructure.
The Force Multiplier: You'd rather build a paved road than approve every request by hand. Other teams ship faster because of what you build and document.
What you get to do
- Architect the Hybrid Kubernetes Platform: Define and build Slate's Kubernetes ecosystem across Amazon EKS and self-managed clusters running on virtualized infrastructure provided by our IT team. Own the reference architecture for cluster provisioning, multi-cluster management (such as Rancher), networking, identity, secrets, storage and upgrades.
- Set the Direction for Our AWS Foundation: Evolve our multi-account AWS environment, including account governance and guardrails, identity and access management, and the networking and DNS that connect the cloud to our sites. Decide where new workloads live and how they connect.
- Build the Reliability Practice: Establish our on-call rotation, SLOs and error budgets, alerting standards, incident response and blameless postmortems. Stand up the observability (metrics, logs, traces and synthetic checks) that tells us something is wrong before our users do.
