Location: Philadelphia, PA
Power is seeking an experienced Network Engineer to join our Site Reliability Engineers team at our headquarters, just outside Philadelphia, PA. SREs at Power create and support our mission-critical business applications. Power’s Site Reliability Engineers enjoy a large degree of autonomy, and will work as part of a Scrum team focused on continuous improvement. In particular, we’re looking for someone who is a strong problem-solver, who relishes a challenge of delivering ambitious features and combating complex issues. Each person on our team is empowered to make technical decisions and influences the choice of the tools and methods for the job.
What does “SRE” mean to us? We choose to organize our teams around the ability to deliver great work rather than individual specialties, and focus on eliminating manual processes. At Power, you will join an established cross-functional team of developers, support personnel, and product owners. While your primary responsibility will be to handle network & infrastructure tasks, we encourage each team member to reach beyond their normal sphere. For example, one team member may be primarily responsible for DevOps and handle requests around application scalability, while another may be primarily an application developer building user-facing features. Both will contribute to planning, building and maintaining the infrastructure to support those features.
We build and support critical tools that enable the people we support to work more efficiently across a wide range of devices, technologies and physical spaces. We enjoy high visibility among the people who use what we create, and are expected to keep them in mind as we solve their problems. To do so, we employ technologies like Cisco Nexus and Catalyst, Cisco ISR, Cisco ASA, Palo Alto, F5’s load balancers, Linux, automation, infrastructure as code, Ansible, and extra tools such as CheckMK, Grafana and Tacacs+. If you enjoy delighting people by making computers do the heavy lifting, all while solving complex technical challenges while overhauling an industry, come join us!
