Job details

DevOps Engineer

HUMAN was founded in 2012 in a Brooklyn sci-fi bookstore by Tamer Hassan, Michael Tiffany, Dan Kaminsky, and Ash Kalb. Our humble beginnings led to the creation of the Human Defense Platform, the backbone of all our products that safeguards enterprises from sophisticated bots, fraud, and account abuse. Today we verify the humanity of more than 20 trillion interactions per week for some of the largest companies and internet platforms.

Our hacker roots still permeate everything we do. You will be a part of the HUMAN front line in our commitment to protecting companies (and in turn, their customers) from both revenue and reputation risk caused by digital attacks. However, HUMAN is not the center of this story. Humans like yourself are. We firmly believe in putting people first. This approach spans our extensive total rewards package, inclusive of competitive compensation, benefits, stipends - as well as our day-to-day culture - to ensure every human is empowered to do the best work of their life. We want to hear about the marathon you’re training for. We want to see pictures of your pets. We want to know your favorite robot (we have many).

Even if you’re not a conventional “hacker” we can assure you that you are a hacker in your own right. We want to work with people like you who break down problems to build up better solutions. That’s what makes us HUMAN. You’ll be joining us at an exciting moment in the HUMAN story: we joined forces with PerimeterX in a market-changing merger, as well as recently acquired clean.io to enhance the Human Defense Platform. Together under the HUMAN brand, we will disrupt the economics of cybercrime. We hope you can join us in that mission.

The infrastructure engineering team at HUMAN is responsible for the development of infrastructure platforms - from DevOps and open-source solutions like Kubernetes and database systems to critical backend components that handle the company’s traffic at huge scales with endless challenges. We design and implement a combination of those to provide engineering teams with the best platform for them to deliver upon.

We’re looking for an experienced DevOps engineer with a burning passion for software and infrastructure to help lead the team and define its vision and culture. An ideal candidate is someone passionate, tech-savvy, and independent, who can identify and suggest potential points for improvement, who works well within a team, and who has plenty of experience with complex, high-performance backend systems.

What you'll do:

Independently identify points for improvement within our infrastructure, from DevOps to backend components, design and implement solutions to improve performance and developer experience.
Monitor critical production systems, help identifying root causes and issues.
Mentor and educate the engineering teams on our systems and culture.
Have a key impact on the performance of our entire system, reaching millions of users every second.

Who you are:

4+ years managing complex cloud infrastructures.
Strong demonstrable understanding of TCP/IP, troubleshooting and performance tuning
Hands-on experience operating container orchestration systems (Kubernetes, Mesos, Nomad etc) is highly advantageous
A burning passion for infrastructure and DevOps, and for software in general.
Coding skills in Go, Python, or similar languages, with at least 3 years of active development experience.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment

HUMAN prides itself on being an equal opportunity workplace. We firmly believe in putting people first regardless of who you are, where you come from, how you identify, or who your favorite robot is (we have many). We are on a mission to protect the integrity of the internet for everyone, so we welcome all individuals to come to share their unique experiences and perspectives as we fight against cybercrime together!

With Humans located in all parts of the world, we’ve fully embraced our diversity of thought and are always looking for innovative ways to connect with one another - even in virtual reality! Although New York City is our HQ, we have teams in Tel Aviv, Israel; London, UK; Victoria, Canada; San Mateo, CA; Miami, FL; and Virginia.

We trust our Humans in choosing where they work and how they work. The total rewards package we provide reflects our commitment to our Humans’ personal career development, which includes annual stipends for wellbeing and learning & development, and a one time home office setup stipend. We also offer weekly lunches, dedicated time off, no-meeting Fridays (for our U.S. and Intl. based HUMANs), HUMAN days, and so much more.

We’re constantly trying to anticipate the needs of our Humans to ensure each one of us is equally prepared to do some of the best work of our life. Taking care of one another is part of the HUMAN experience and how we build true HUMAN connections.
