<p>A DevOps Engineer is a developer who thinks deeply about systems and how they behave in the wild. Whether it be networking, or the Linux kernel, or even a specific interest in observability, scaling, algorithms, or distributed systems. You are a systems engineer who aims to code themselves out of a job by automating all the things and leverages great development practices like Test-Driven-Development or continuous integration.</p> <p>Like all engineers at Benzinga, we expect you to be comfortable operating within our application and service environments. Your primary focus will be on defining, building, and maintaining our robust, observable, and scalable infrastructure.
