At Rapid7, we're building a security analytics platform to help customers easily find, manage and reduce risk. We seek a highly motivated technical leader to help ensure our platform is secure, reliable and available for thousands of customers that rely on it every day.
Are you a problem solver, passionate about eliminating manual toil through automation and tools development? Does operating, maintaining, upgrading, scaling and monitoring a system that processes billions of daily events in the cloud excites you? Are you ready to partner with multiple teams across a global organization to build a modern, scalable infrastructure? Are you a developer at heart but possess a wide range of skills across networking, Linux sysadmin, configuration management, data streaming, clustered datastores, cloud services and deployment technologies? Do you enjoy leading people but are happiest getting into the weeds to make a difference?
The Platform Delivery team is a high-profile group supporting all Rapid7 products from development tooling to cloud infrastructure management and cloud operations. We work directly with developers to maximize and ensure the performance and uptime of our SaaS products. We strive to maintain a DevOps culture, empowering development while promoting security and reliability. We are a global team with a local focus working alongside our IDR, insightOPS and LogSearch teams to bring the next generation of security solutions to our customers.
