Enterprise Infrastructure Architect

Job Description

BetterCloud is the first company to provide a SaaSOps platform solution to manage and secure the digital workplace. Over 2,500 customers in 60+ countries rely on BetterCloud to automate processes and policies across a company's SaaS application portfolio. A pioneer of the SaaS Ops movement, BetterCloud established the first-ever "SaaS Application Management and Security Framework" via two published books entitled "The IT Leader's Guide to SaaS Ops" - Vol. 1: "A Six-part Framework for Managing Your SaaS Applications" & Vol. 2: "How to Secure Your SaaS Applications." BetterCloud is headquartered in New York City with offices in San Francisco and Atlanta.

We are a high-energy, high-growth product company seeking an enterprising individual to join our growing team as an Enterprise Infrastructure Architect . While the majority of our development is done in Java, our platform is built using a polyglot microservice architecture, which consists of over 300 services that are built using Java, Scala, Go, and Javascript. A strong background in Cloud Infrastructure is a must as BetterCloud is 100% cloud-native and is hosted exclusively in the Google Cloud Platform.

Our Microservices technology stack heavily leverages Java and Spring Boot on the backend and React on the front end. Our CI/CD system utilizes Jenkins, Gradle, Bitbucket, and Harness.io. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation is implemented with Terraform, Kubernetes, and Chef. Our platform processes eye-popping amounts of data using stream processing technologies such as Kafka, Google PubSub, and Flink.

While we don’t expect anyone to have experience with all of these technologies, we do expect an Enterprise Architect to have at least relevant experience with similar technologies. We are looking for a seasoned Enterprise Infrastructure Architect who loves to design world-class infrastructure, automated deployments, maintenance, and monitoring solutions, and loves, loves, loves to learn. If you have these qualities and are willing to hit the ground running then we’re the place for you!
