Keen is the platform that enables software developers to build customer-facing analytics into their apps in a quick, flexible, and scalable way. We provide a comprehensive custom analytics stack without the hassle of managing big data infrastructure.

What we're looking for in a Devops lead:

- You have strong opinions on DevOps/SRE concepts and the space in general. Things like immutable infrastructure, chatops and gitops, SRE practice, IaC, serverless, etc.

- You should have broad DevOps skillset. That means you have hands-on experience with containers (Docker/ECS), Linux, CI/CD (Jenkins/CircleCI/TravisCI), log management (ELK/CloudWatch/Loggly), and monitoring platforms (Datadog, NewRelic, Grafana).

- You’re comfortable writing tooling in a scripting language like python.

- Experience with Cassandra or other modern NoSQL datastores.

Familiarity with operation and management of Apache Storm and Kafka and experience with artifact/dependency management in systems such as gradle, sbt, or maven an equivalent would be a bonus.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> US-ONLY REMOTE Paperwork wise, working with foreign contractors is much easier compared to US ones - they just send invoice PDF-s at the end of the months, and the company does the regular bank wire transfer. So what's the reason you are not open to this?

Well, a contractor is a very different thing. They don't have the same rights and we can't offer them the same benefits as we do to our employees. We don't want to have second class citizens on our team. That said, we already do work with some contractors outside of US. But the above applies and we are trying to find a way to incorporate in their countries so we can equalize the compensations (salary, health benefits…

Well, you can just compensate those benefits in cash - even in US, that's what Netflix does compared to other BigCo's.
