Senior DevOps Engineer – Elenion Technologies – New York, NY

Who We

Are:
Elenion

Technologies is driving innovation in silicon photonics, an emerging technology

poised to significantly increase performance and reduce costs of optical

systems. We are headquartered in New York City, with offices in San Jose,

California and Munich, Germany.

After pursuing a

path of intensely focused research and development for two years in

stealth-mode, Elenion recently unveiled itself to the world and has assembled a

world-class team of multi-disciplinary experts. Members of our leadership team

have built and sold several companies, published papers in the top scientific

journals in the world, raised hundreds of millions of dollars of venture

capital, and have built products and deployed them to the market. The technical team includes world leaders in our space, and many members are PhD

scientists and engineers from the top schools in the world, such as MIT,

Caltech, UChicago, and Columbia. This has enabled our team to run very lean on

IT resources, relying on external consultants for support up to this point.

Elenion is

developing next-generation photonic integrated circuit technologies and

solutions for a broad range of datacom and telecom applications. It is almost

certain that, as you read this web page, the data traveling from the server to

your computer or phone went through hardware that someone on our team designed,

built, or deployed.

This team builds

the hardware at the heart of the internet. We think that’s cool. Hopefully, you

do too.

The

Position:
We are looking

for an experienced DevOps engineer to help drive our success in developing

world-class optical technologies. This position will be located at our

headquarters in midtown Manhattan, on Madison Avenue, with a large team of

highly technical personnel – physicists, engineers, programmers, et cetera. One

of the key responsibilities for this role will be to help centralize and

organize our IT infrastructure, including networking and computing resources

and administration mechanisms, policies and procedures. These are key systems

which will enable our R&D teams to perform at their best and for our team

to excel. As this position is our first full-time IT hire, we need someone who

can assess existing systems, transition services to new platforms, implement

industry best-practices, generate detailed documentation, and help create a

culture of operational excellence in all aspects of our IT infrastructure.

Additionally, we are looking for someone who is interested in building tools to

automate processes directly involved in our research, development, and

operations teams.

This position will require someone who can identify what needs to be

done with minimal direct supervision, then prioritize and execute. As the

organization grows there will be multiple opportunities for professional growth

and career development, in any of several different directions. The ideal

candidate is someone who has deep experience with the relevant technology, but

who is first and foremost a problem solver, a fast learner, and someone who

understands how to triage and prioritize many different tasks in light of

overall organizational goals, seeking guidance as needed.

Key Responsibilities:
·

Operate key business and

operational support systems, including monitoring, configuration management,

and other key platforms

·

Propose new and innovative
