Company background
We at Neysa believe that good software is one where you don’t have to (necessarily) read the complete manual. Good software is intuitive, inviting and accommodating. Most importantly, good software should make life easy. Neysa is founded by infrastructure engineers, and we are out to make our jobs a little bit easier with great software. We want you to design, build and maintain a super-resilient, super-scalable, multi-hyperscaler, multi-location cloud infrastructure to support this endeavour.
Day in the life
In this role, you will…
- Work with multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure and/or your own!) to create an infrastructure that seamlessly stitches everything together.
- Build and maintain automatic scaling and reducing algorithms for infrastructure and software services.
- Identify points of failure and design around them. Create and simulate failure scenarios to test and verify your design choices.
- Work deeply with ancillary technologies, viz. networking, storage, load balancing, DNS, DHCP, logging, etc.
- Interact with developers to optimise placement, understand cost structures to optimise expenses, and design bespoke infrastructure deployment rules.
Must-have skills
On day one, we'll expect you to...
- Have a (very) deep understanding of virtualisation, cloud computing, containers and automation across AWS, GCP, VMware and KVM.
- Be intimate with security concepts like firewalling, API security, placement policies, load balancing and availability.
- Be an expert in automation and automation frameworks. You should be able to design, write and troubleshoot automation scripts across platforms.
- Understand how infrastructure components like DHCP, DNS, messaging queueing mechanisms, logging etc. work.
- Have a strong, intuitive approach to troubleshooting complex, multi-domain issues.
- Have experience on cloud networking and extranets.
- Have an understanding of encryption, its effect on infrastructure services, and its suitability.
What separates the best from the rest
Added skills you may need to have...
- The initiative to work independently, at your own pace, but on a schedule.
- Intuitive about what is a problem now and what could be a problem down the line.
- Certifications would be handy.
What can you expect
A working environment like no other…
- The best remuneration in the industry!
- Access to your lab with the freedom to make (or break) new implementations.
- The ability to design to support mission-critical business and then defend your choices.
- Heady (but healthy) discussions on technology and its inner workings.
- Your work in a multi-vendor, multi-cloud environment.
Things you must know…
- VMware vSphere, AWS, GCP and Azure Cloud Computing platforms, Docker
- IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and subnetting, VLANs, routing concepts, network security concepts
- APIs for AWS, GCP and Azure
- Authentication systems, directory services.
- Storage concepts viz. IOPs, throughput and the factors affecting them, Ceph, Swift, object storage
Great if you know…
- Operating system concepts like scheduling, NUMA, system-level caching
- Advanced networking, overlays, software-defined networking, inter-region routing, Layer 2/Layer 3/Layer 4-7 constructs.
- Kubernetes, other CNCF components and how they work with each other
- Service-mesh and concepts of micro-services.
- Storage scalability concepts, storage networking, storage authentication and virtualisation
We’ll help you out on…
- Base infrastructure, low-level computing
- Datacenter buildouts, service provider routing and peering.
- Controller networking
