SpotOn is a cutting-edge software company dedicated to redefining the merchant services industry. SpotOn combines payment processing with customer engagement and business management solutions, giving small and medium businesses the data and tools they need to run and grow their business. Our tools increase revenue and connect businesses with their customers using rewards, deals, online reviews, website building, and data analytics. Tools like these were previously only available to big

businesses with big bankrolls and their own developers, but our platform caters to neighborhood stores, independent retailers, and other small to midsize businesses. We have our service deployed in many cities across the U.S. and Mexico.

SpotOn’s DevOps team is tasked with keeping our platform running smoothly and providing tools and processes for fast and efficient development to our developers. There is a mix of reactive request-based work as well as long term project work. There is a wide range of environments and applications to support as part of the team, from helping to modernize our legacy monolithic platform apps to help build and support our new services-architecture based applications. Our backends are written in python (Mix of Django, Flask, Twisted), Golang, and a tiny amount of Elixir.

Our front ends are mostly React based. Our infrastructure tooling is

a mix of CloudFormation and Terraform, moving towards only Terraform. We utilize Mongo, Postgres, and MySQL for our databases. We are currently migrating all of our apps in to Kubernetes and serverless workloads, and need your help to keep up with the workload and help us innovate while supporting our legacy deployments in AWS EC2! A strong candidate for this position will have good communication skills to work with various developer groups and their own

team to achieve success. They should have a year or more of experience working on and supporting cloud-based web applications in an operational role, as well as some time developing web applications. They’ll be comfortable working primarily in code, but know the operational side well.

We are not currently looking to do a full time remote for this position, would need to be based in one of our offices primarily. We are flexible with working from home / remotely as well, just prefer not full time remote.
