DevOps Engineer II

Hi, we’re TechnologyAdvice.

At TechnologyAdvice, we pride ourselves on helping B2B tech buyers manage the complexity and risk of the buying process. We are a trusted source of information for tech buyers, delivering advice and facilitating connections between our buyers and the world’s leading sellers of business technology. 

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, we are a remote-first company with more than 20 digital publications and over 200 global team members in the US, UK, Singapore, Australia, and the Philippines. We’re proud to have been repeatedly recognized as one of America’s fastest growing private companies by Inc., as well as a Tennessee top workplace. We work hard each day and have fun, too, with monthly virtual events, recreational slack channels, and the occasional costumed dance from our CEO.

All positions are open to remote work unless otherwise specified in the requirements below. 

The opportunity

Are you looking for a great career with a growing company where you can make an impact and be part of an exciting team? If you are passionate about technology and interested in joining a team of collaborative colleagues who respectfully and courageously seek to challenge the status quo, you’ve found the right place.

We use MySQL, Redshift, and Redis for databases and caching. We use GitHub Actions and ArgoCD for our CI/CD pipeline. We use Cloudflare for our CDN/WAF. Do you love IaC?

You will be responsible for engineering support, service delivery, reliability, scalability, monitoring, and creating some of our infrastructure-as-code, just to name a few key responsibilities.
