SEEKING FREELANCER Infrastructure Engineering:

We are working with a large enterprise client in the entertainment space helping them transition their entire infrastructure and build pipelines to AWS. This client manages a large amount of digital content and media workflows and wants to move that all to a secure infrastructure in the cloud. The team will also be providing this infrastructure as a service for the rest of the company.

As an infrastructure engineer, you will be responsible for working with the team in building and scaling the AWS cloud infrastructure with Terraform. This role will not be simply administering the infrastructure, but be part of architecting and building a scalable and secure cloud infrastructure on AWS.

Core requirements as experience with AWS, Terraform and Cloud Networking. Additional experience that would be nice to have is Docker, Git and Ansible.

Client is based in the Western US so it would be preferable to be based in that area so you can occasionally visit the client. Remote is also possible for strong candidates.

We have been spending a lot of time evaluating Fauna to Spanner and Coackroach. I think the most interesting thing about Fauna is it does not rely on Atomic Clocks or TrueTime. According to Coackroach TrueTime can cause delays of up to 250ms (https://www.cockroachlabs.com/tags/truetime/index.xml) The alternative approach that Fauna takes of deriving the total ordering of transactions using a raft replicated log does not have this limitation. This also means Fauna is not dependent on a particular cloud provider or infrastructure. The other really unique approach Fauna took is not trying to provide SQL compatibility, which makes the Query Language used to interact with the database much more powerful.
