Our Company
Hydra Host is a startup focused on building the first true marketplace for compute. We believe people should have the power to make their own decisions about which compute they use without sacrificing trust for ease of use. We offer an alternative to the cloud hyperscaler model by directly matching independent data centers and compute providers to end users. Furthermore, we have much higher diversity in providers and hardware configurations than anyone on the market. That makes it a tougher challenge, but a bigger learning and innovation opportunity.
Our Philosophy
Hydra Host is a people-centric, mission-driven, remote-friendly, experimental company. Results > titles. We believe in individual freedom, self-expression, and preserving an online culture of heterodoxy that has driven massive human flourishing.
Job Summary
Hydra Host is building Brokkr, a baremetal management and marketplace platform enabling independent datacenters to efficiently monetize their inventory. We’ve integrated more than two dozen datacenters and we are expanding quickly to disrupt the traditional cloud compute model. This is an opportunity to work with high-end systems which are in great demand.
We seek a Senior Devops Engineer to expand and maintain our CI/CD framework. This person will lead efforts involving integration and release pipelines, version control, the CI/CD framework and infrastructure, and software development lifecycles.
The role will begin by assuming maintenance responsibilities of the existing CI/CD framework and project pipelines. The Devops engineer will then work closely with the engineering, development, and security teams to expand, simplify, and improve coverage so that all Brokkr system deployments and software releases are managed through automation. This will cover an interesting variety of cloud and baremetal systems and software packages.
The successful candidate will enhance the quality and velocity of our product by bringing to bare a strong sense of systems and process design to keep our pipelines concise, reliable, maintainable, and accessible.
