Job description

Simply Business is a digital insurance brokerage that specializes in one thing: protecting the businesses our customers are working hard to build. We're doing this by simplifying the insurance-buying process for all small businesses, blending together a combination of technology, data, and insurance knowledge. Our proprietary technology platform allows small business owners to easily search and compare quotes from over 20 top-rated insurance providers, customize their coverage, and purchase and access their policies – all online. Simply Business is passionate about building an outstanding product for our customers – one that empowers their entrepreneurial spirits. You will help bring us closer to our DevOps nirvana and contribute to our Platform as a Service and DevOps culture (test driven infrastructure, automate everything, self-service tooling). We are product driven, not project driven. Our PaaS, built on cloud infrastructure, is our product and the rest of the business our customers. You will be required to be part of the on-call rota, and believe that through well-designed systems and automation you will never be called. We are mostly hosted in AWS (and annually attend re:Invent) and have built a PaaS on top to allow our product teams to deploy their applications using a Codebuild / GitHub Actions/Docker/Ansible/Terraform driven, region agnostic, blue-green automated deployment pipeline; this offers both AMIs and Docker images for deployment to our respective AWS EC2 and ECS production environment. We continuously re-evaluate using the right tool for the DevOps job and making abstraction easy. Experience of cloud hosting such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform. Experience with continuous delivery / provisioning / deployment. Building and managing production public-facing sites. Experience with automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform and CloudFormation (but not limited to those mentioned). Strong programming skills (in any language). Experience with hosting internet applications – DNS, load balancing, internet protocols, SSL etc. Experience of monitoring tools such as New Relic. Experience of software / infrastructure testing and ideally TDD. Group plan for medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage. ~ Short term disability, long term disability, and life insurance coverage. ~ Commuter benefits to help cut down on parking and public transit costs. ~25 days of vacation time plus 10 sick days and 10 company holidays. ~ An awesome office space. ~ We're committed to welcoming and helping employees grow within an inclusive & diverse culture. We pride ourselves on fostering a sense of community, which is only made stronger by each individual at SB, so you'll have the opportunity to meet a variety of people throughout the process. If you don't have access to either of these, or you need support with your application, get in touch with us at [emailprotected]. Please email us with any questions or if you want to pause your application for a bit – we'll be happy to keep you updated on future opportunities like the one above.
