Senior DevOps Engineer, Engineering Effectiveness

Please note that we have a hybrid approach to work and would like to find someone who can come into our offices in Lisbon (Lagoas Park) at least once per week.Who We Are

The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas: the power to see what’s not ordinarily possible, and the ability to collect intelligence from vantage points as diverse and global as the Internet. As organizations depend on cloud services, the Internet has become their defacto network connecting cloud applications to users. Our Internet and cloud intelligence platform is like a ‘Google maps of the Internet’, providing the only collectively powered view of digital experiences end-to-end. We enable our customers made up of the world’s largest and fastest-growing brands, to identify problems before they impact revenue, brand reputation, or employee productivity.

In August 2020, Cisco Systems completed the acquisition of ThousandEyes, which now forms the ThousandEyes Business Unit within Cisco’s Network Services Business Group, and is a foundational component of Cisco’s growing Observability business.

What You’ll Do

The Engineering Effectiveness team is a team at ThousandEyes with the mission to empower our engineers to be more effective and happier by providing the software solutions, processes, infrastructure, and the support they need to design, implement, test, and operationalize their code quickly and with high quality, at scale. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will have the opportunity to define how we partner with the other engineering teams to provide a productive and frictionless end-to-end developer experience encompassing the entire development, infrastructure, release, and operating lifecycle.

You will design and implement system integrations with our internal developer portal (Backstage), to deliver fully automated solutions for the end-to-end path to Production in a measurable and scalable way. These integrations include surfacing data from multiple systems to give our engineers visibility into all aspects of their service development lifecycle. You will bring your full SDLC experience to help improve our overall engineering processes, testing approaches, deployment pipelines, and operational procedures. You will work with our production and reliability engineering teams to provide and create the tools and frameworks that allow the application teams to properly monitor and alert on their production applications.

We are passionate about optimizing our developer’s end-to-end engineering experience to foster the innovation that allows our company to succeed.

We believe that everyone has something to offer and that diverse teams are better equipped to solve problems, innovate, and create a positive impact.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification. Research shows that people from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy. We urge you not to prematurely exclude yourself and to apply if you're interested in this work.
