Application Engineer - III

Do you want to have a significant positive impact in the way software is delivered at Vanguard? Join the Code eNablement (formerly CIA) Team! The Code eNablement team is the key driver of PITech's Pipeline & Developer Enablement strategy. We aim to enable seamless application delivery by automating the "Vanguard" out of Vanguard - reducing complexity and friction, while enabling secure, scalable infrastructure for every stage of development.

About You

• You care deeply about continuous improvement in both technology and personal development
• You take pride in your work, and have a breadth of IT experiences and products that show it
• You align with Vanguard's core mission - to take a stand for investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success
• You work best in collaborative, trusting, goal-oriented environments

About the Position

"Developers build the sandcastle, we build the sandbox" - it's an oversimplification, but it reflects what we do - to enable developers to do their best work by simplifying and automating their infrastructure and deployment needs, through tools like Dexter, GitHub, Ansible, and more.

In your role, you will:

• Help build a world-class development ecosystem in PITech by building new and refining existing code and content deployment paradigms
• Automate manual processes through tools like GitHub Actions and Ansible.
• Contribute to the modernization of deployment pipelines by creating a repeatable process through which applications deployed via legacy tools (Ansible) can be migrated to modernized tools (GitHub)
• Prioritize work based on client impact and business value
• Review code submitted by other engineers to ensure excellence
• Develop custom supplemental products and functions

While pipeline engineering experience is preferred, we are interested in candidates from any technical background so long as you are passionate about your work and have experience developing and deploying enterprise level systems. With that said, here is the technology we use that you can expect to encounter:

• GitHub
• Ansible Tower
• AWS ECS, S3, Lambdas
• Docker
• Kubernetes, Kong Gateway
• Attunity/Qlik Replicate
• Python, Java, YAML
• Splunk, Honeycomb, Grafana
