The summary above was generated by AI

Markforged (NYSE: MKFG) is reinventing the $1 trillion+ worldwide manufacturing industry so that engineers can build anything they imagine while reducing environmental impact. With the market’s most robust 3D printing hardware, software and material solution, a world-class team, great customers and abundant capital, we’re well placed to continue our growth and innovation. 

As a Senior DevOps Engineer you will be on the team responsible for Markforged’s additive manufacturing platform. The Digital Forge platform gives customers the ability to configure parts, visualize part geometry, improve part geometry with AI and ML models, and print on our cloud connected fleet of world class metal and composite 3D printers. 

The DevOps team enables IoT, WebApp and Slicer App engineers to reliably and quickly deliver new features to users. DevOps plays a key role in driving large-scale architecture projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams to design and implement infrastructure that is highly scalable, resilient, and secure. 

 

What will you own?

This is a broad and deep role with company-wide impact and visibility.  You will sometimes be the final escalation point for a broad range of Internet-, security-, and cloud-related questions, coming from the software, customer success, and sales teams.  You'll need to be able to quickly wrap your head around new product features and architectures, make sense of possibly conflicting problem/bug reports, and dig in to troubleshoot (both internally and externally).

Responsibilities:

  • Supporting the Software team's development platforms, including both technologies (Kubernetes, CICD, Terraform, Docker), and services (AWS, CircleCI, NPMJS, GitHub, Snyk, Harness)
  • Permissions management
  • Acting as SRE for production environments
  • Acting as SME for cloud technologies (review PRs and participating in design sessions with Engineering team on how to best leverage cloud services to deliver product features)
  • Acting as SME for broader Internet technologies (company-wide domain registration, external DNS, and CDN strategy)
  • Evaluating and prioritizing security threats
  • AWS cost management
    • Identifying cost hot spots
    • Planning and implementing specific cost-savings strategies
  • Manage and prioritize DevOps backlog, encompassing product development, internal improvements, and security enhancements
  • Support customer escalations (pre- and post-sales) involving device connectivity, security, or authentication.
  • Collaborate with the internal IT/TechOps team on shared technologies and initiatives.
