When I find out that SoundCloud is looking for a Production Engineer, I've decided that I can't just get past it.
|
|
|
|
### About me
|
|
Hi!
|
|
|
|
I'm a DevOps engineer with almost five years of experience in different IT areas (QA, Development, System Engineering). Currently, I'm working at Itigris in the role of DevOps/System Engineer.
|
|
Some of my current responsibilities:
|
|
- Support Kubernetes clusters. (all our applications and self-hosted services are running in Kubernetes)
|
|
- Provide "Platform as a service" for developers and QA. For example, create and support reliable and fast CI/CD pipelines, support and administrate self-hosted services, etc.
|
|
- Help other teams with an understanding of Docker and containerization.
|
|
- Troubleshooting and administrating
|
|
|
|
### Why am I writing you?
|
|
After reading the job description, I've had a little doubt because I'm not sure that I can make a perfect fit right now. But it seems impossible to me not to try because I think SoundCloud is a great platform, and I will be happy to become a part of the team. I'm just tired of working on projects that don't make me feel satisfied, no matter how interesting tasks are. That's why I've decided to try.
|
|
|
|
SoundCloud is a platform that I'm using every day (as a listener and as a musician), and I believe that it's a kind of project that will make me feel that I'm working on something valuable. That's why I hope you will come back with feedback even if I'm not good enough to join the team right now. To help me understand which technologies I should learn deeper.
|
|
|
|
### Why, I think, you should pay attention to my CV?
|
|
- I'm a young engineer with a will to learn.
|
|
- I'm not afraid of non-standard solutions, and I'm not tied to old-familiar technologies.
|
|
- I always take responsibility for what I'm doing.
|
|
- I'm sure that things must be automated when it's possible.

Thank you
