About the role

  • CI/CD expertise sits close behind - while observability knowledge is useful but increasingly centralized via shared platforms.
  • You will work in a small, focused team and in close partnership with the product engineering squads you enable.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with product squads to enable self-service access to their own infrastructure, databases, and pipelines - with the guardrails, auditability, and standards that make that access safe.
  • Use AI tooling pragmatically and at a professional level: to accelerate code generation, infrastructure design, debugging, documentation, and review. We expect engineers to be AI-first in how they approach their craft.

Requirements

  • Experience working with relational databases is helpful - PostgreSQL is ideal but not required.
  • Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms
  • You have a bias for action and problem-solving, and you prefer shipping small, frequent improvements over big-bang changes.
  • The ability to provision infrastructure and debug complex distributed systems is our highest concern for this role.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on Kubernetes experience - you can deploy, operate, and debug workloads on Kubernetes.
  • You do not need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable in it.
  • Terraform experience - you have written and maintained non-trivial Terraform.
  • Again, expertise is not required
  • pragmatic competence is.
  • Familiarity with setting up CI and deployment automation.
  • Experience with GitHub Actions is strongly preferred
  • experience with Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar is transferable.

Compensation

  • Drives innovation and creativity within and between teams.
  • Introduces employees to priorities outside of their immediate realm.
  • Ensures important interpersonal relationships and connections with one another and our community!

Benefits

  • Fosters a culture of collaboration, communication, performance and learning.

Company info

  • You will join our Site Reliability Engineering function within the Governance Compliance and Insights (GCI) pillar, a team that sits at the centre of how Mimecast builds, ships, and operates its cloud platform.
  • We do three things, and we do them at scale:
  • Cloud infrastructure - design, provision, and evolve the AWS foundations our product teams build on.
  • CI/CD - build and maintain the pipelines that move code safely and frequently from commit to production.
  • We hold a few beliefs about how that work should be done:
  • Continuous deployment. Smaller chunks of work, shipped more frequently, with the safety rails to make that the default - not the exception.
  • Builders own what they build. We work relentlessly to enable product teams to safely and auditably access their own infrastructure, databases, and pipelines. Our job is to help teams help themselves, not to become a bottleneck.
  • Process and standardization are paramount. We avoid one-offs and special cases at almost any upfront cost, because repeatability compounds.
  • AI-First Engineering at Mimecast
  • Mimecast is an AI-First engineering organization.
  • Our teams actively leverage AI-powered development tools across all facets of engineering, from code development to testing, documentation, and operations.
  • We're looking for leaders who don't just use AI tools but champion their adoption and establish new ways of working.
  • Our AI leadership extends beyond how we build to what we build.
  • Our Mihra AI agent delivers 7x faster threat response for customers, and we're recognized as "Agents of Change" in Human Risk Management.
  • Engineers here work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI tooling and AI-powered security products that protect organizations worldwide.
  • your race, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, marital status, nationality, or any other protected characteristic won't affect your application.
  • If you require any adjustments or accommodations due to a disability, or any other reason that may help you in your interview process, please let us know by emailing careers@mimecast.com.
  • Due to certain obligations to our customers, an offer of employment will be subject to your successful completion of applicable background checks, conducted in accordance with local law.
  • It is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment.
