Your Mission:

You will work with a team of sales engineers spread across Europe and the US to help secure the codebases of Fortune 500 companies and next-gen unicorns by seamlessly implementing GitGuardian's technology into their Software Delivery Life Cycle: both SaaS and on-premise versions, from POCs through to production.

Backend: Python + Django, Go, RabbitMQ, Redis DB: Elasticsearch (+ Kibana), PostgreSQL Frontend: React / Typescript Deployment: Kubernetes, Docker, HELM, Terraform, AWS

Who You Are:

Here's what we consider essential for success:

• Kubernetes and deployment expertise: significant experience using Kubernetes in production, an understanding of cloud hosting (AWS, Azure, or GCP), deploying and debugging on-premise solutions, managing containers, investigating network issues, working with Linux servers, and writing shell scripts.
• Analytical problem-solving skills: an ability to investigate and understand different customer environments, ask the right questions and troubleshoot effectively.
