DO YOU LOVE SOLVING PIPELINE PROBLEMS ALL BY YOURSELF? HATE COLLABORATING WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES AROUND CHALLENGING APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT ISSUES? THINK KUBERNETES IS FAR TOO COMPLICATED AND OPINIONATED? THEN MOVE ALONG, THIS IS NOT THE ROLE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. However, if you're an SRE or DevOps engineer in the Kubernetes/Cloud Native space with CI/CD experience, looking to become part of a dynamic professional services team who are called in to consult on and solve some of the most complex design and deployment challenges for the likes of AWS and Microsoft as well as many other Fortune 100 enterprises wanting to adopt GitOps...well then, read on.

Weaveworks helps enterprises build, deploy, and operate better, more secure software pipelines reliably and at scale. We are thought-leaders (our CEO coined the term) and industry-changers when it comes to Cloud Native development practices and deployment technologies. Our approach - Weave GitOps - is where Continuous Delivery meets Cloud Native Security practices and puts enterprises securely on the path to TRUSTED DELIVERY for their applications. Our company has created many open source tools and projects that you're probably familiar with: Flux, Flagger, Scope and Cortex, all projects we have donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as well as EKSCTL, the CLI for AWS' Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). We have recently launched our flagship product, Weave GitOps Enterprise. Working alongside our Product and Engineering teams, the consultants on our Customer Success team work directly with our customers to solve their most pressing application development and cluster deployment problems.

The CX team engages with select Fortune 100 customers in sectors such as Finance, Telecom, and Retail. Our CREs bring years of experience skillfully applying Cloud Native tools and technologies so that our customers realize value quickly and ensure that their goals are fully met. You will join an expert team with a superb balance of production operational experience and cloud native developer understanding. You will work closely with the latest open-source tools and technologies, and help market-leading clients pick the right choices for their applications. This is a varied, extremely consultative, customer-facing role, where you'll get to understand the problem, shape the approach, and then deliver the solution.

In this role you will:

• Work with customers consulting on GitOps and Kubernetes solutions, both in the cloud and on-premise
• Architect, develop, and implement end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for cluster and application life cycles
• Advise and consult on GitOps methodologies and Weaveworks technologies, influence clients' strategy and direction, shape work with enormous impact - then deliver it!
• Lead a proactive approach to delivery of consulting engagements, based on GitOps, cloud native technologies and Weaveworks delivery methodologies
• Collaborate cross-functionally, both within Weaveworks and across our clients' orgs, in a remote-first, ethnically diverse, and globally-distributed environment

What you bring to the role:

• At-scale operations experience as an SRE and DevOps engineer and some well developed opinions on CI/CD principles and practices
• Experience of picking the right tools and technologies for the cloud native problem - You're comfortable across a wide-range of Git-based solutions (GitHub, GitLab), Terraform, Helm Charts, and config management tools like Ansible, Chef and Puppet and are confident advising clients on their choices
• Opinionated experience with Kubernetes (maybe you're even certified - CKA, CKAD, CKS, or better yet…all three!)
• Deep understanding of cloud native development technologies, patterns, and practices
• Open-source experience within a cloud native consulting practice is a bonus
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (IP, TCP, UDP, load balancing, etc.) and the OSI model
• And it goes without saying, first class communication skills - both writing and speaking fluently

Apply! We really want to hear from you, whether you're a career consultant or considering a move into professional services. We're hiring at all levels, in multiple locations and we know that job adverts can often sound like a shopping list of technical skills. Customer Success is, foremost, a human activity and we'd love to talk to candidates with a passion for helping enterprises deliver.

The tech industry can be an homogenous place and we'd love to hear from anyone who considers themselves under-represented in tech. Weaveworks is committed to diversity and we're building a globe-spanning team that is already changing our industry.
