Seattle, United States MotherDuck Full time
About MotherDuck

Don't let the quirky name fool you We're on a mission to radically transform the data analyst user experience. We think we can empower and delight analysts using a novel cloud architecture built on top of DuckDB, an open source foundation with a vibrant community. Our team is a diverse mix of passionate, collaborative and empathetic data industry veterans from Google, Amazon, Meta, Snowflake, SingleStore, Databricks, and the like.

DevOps at MotherDuck

We are a small but mighty team of globally-distributed engineers responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring and observability, and assorted internal tools that keep the MotherDuck development lifecycle running smoothly. We are scrappy and responsive; we value agency, bias to action, and willingness to learn new things when necessary. We are looking for a solutions-oriented, collaborative, creative teammate who is excited to roll up their sleeves and get to work.

Core Responsibilities

At MotherDuck, we're redefining the future of cloud-based data analytics by building innovative solutions that transform the way businesses manage and analyze data. As we continue to scale, we're looking for a talented DevOps Software Engineer to join our flock and help streamline and support our existing infrastructure, ensuring reliability, scalability, and efficiency across all of our platforms.

This role requires minimal travel for team and company events and responsibility for a 24 hour on-call shift approximately 3 weeks each year.

Responsibilities:
  • Design, implement, and manage scalable infrastructure using cloud-native technologies (our stack is primarily deployed in AWS, but multi-cloud is on the horizon)
  • Maintain, troubleshoot, and continuously improve existing CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless integration and deployment processes
  • Collaborate with development, security, and operations teams to implement best practices in automation, monitoring, and performance tuning
  • Manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform
  • Automate routine tasks to reduce manual effort and minimize downtime
  • Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure high availability of services
  • Implement robust security practices and ensure compliance with industry standards
  • Assist with incident response and ensure effective post-mortem analysis to continuously improve system reliability
  • Participate in on-call rotation staffed by engineers across development and operations teams
Requirements
  • 3-5+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, Systems Administrator, or related role
  • Experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure) and confidence in your ability to quickly familiarize yourself with another
  • Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI)
  • Solid understanding of containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation
  • Experience with monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong scripting skills in Python, Bash, or similar languages
  • Familiarity with security best practices, including IAM, VPC configurations, and data encryption
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment
Nice to Have:
  • Experience with large-scale distributed systems, multi-region and multi-cloud a plus
  • Experience with or interest in testing and testing strategies
  • Knowledge of database systems and optimization
  • Direct experience building, maintaining, and supporting infrastructure tools and mission-critical systems
  • Experience working and collaborating with an internal customer such as a development team, support team, or similar
What we provide
  • Competitive compensation and stock options
  • 100% paid medical, dental, and vision for employees
  • 80% paid medical, dental, and vision for dependents
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off
  • 401k plan
  • Opportunities to build team connection via company summits 2x a year and team summits 1-2x a year.
  • Hybrid work environment


Please Apply

Does this role sound appealing to you, but you're missing some of the requirements or don't quite think you're qualified? Please apply anyway. Research has shown that underrepresented groups in technology often shy away from roles which aren't a 100% match. We aim to build a diverse team and will strongly consider applicants who bring many of the requirements plus have other experiences which round out their qualifications.
