Infrastructure Engineer

As an Infrastructure Engineer at Hatch, your work will have a tangible impact on our cloud platform both in expanding its footprint and improving the way we run it. In doing so, you’ll find yourself working with both other members of the Infrastructure team and across Engineering and the company as a whole.

This is a unique opportunity to work on an agile, high functioning team, enhancing and refining everything from provisioning to monitoring. We prioritize clear communication. Ideas conceived in Slack discussions are often expounded into tech specs as necessary, which we then implement via infrastructure as code. 

The Infrastructure team at Hatch makes use today of Terraform, Ansible, Packer and Python to manage our cloud services. Our services run in Docker containers. CI and other repo-based automation (Terraform, Packer, Docker builds, etc.) are handled with GitHub Actions today. We use Datadog for active monitoring of timeseries data. Additionally, our codebase contains a collection of small, focused command-line programs to provide an integration layer across the various open-source tools that we use.

Service reliability as a business function is critical to Hatch. In particular, the attributes of Correctness and Availability are our two primary concerns. Everything we do is conducted through that lens.

You’re not expected to have expertise in all of the above areas, but you should be interested in learning and growing your knowledge in the areas that are less familiar to you.

This role is open to remote employees.

In your first month in this role, you will spend time familiarizing yourself with the platform, our tools and our processes. Expect to be doing a significant amount of work with Terraform and AWS. You will also be working on Python and shell.

In following months, you might find yourself taking on a more embedded role with backend engineering, improving both breadth and depth of application monitoring and logging. This could include writing tooling to simplify common interface use cases. Also expect to work on the next generation of provisioning and deployment here at Hatch, including working with Kubernetes and CD tools such as Spinnaker. The Infrastructure team plans very strategically, while allowing space for reactive work as needed. This means you will have plenty of opportunity to control your destiny here at Hatch!
