ABOUT THIS JOB

Platform engineers strike a balance between precision and disruption, between reliability and innovation. Nielsen is a tech company backed by over a century of forward momentum to show the world what’s next—and we couldn’t do it without our platform engineers.

In Nielsen Media, we are the market leader that drives content ratings across virtually all viewing platforms including local and national TV, streaming, digital advertising, and more. This role is in the Media Platform team, where we heavily leverage open source software, kubernetes, and cloud technologies to build a single central platform for managing compute, storage, orchestration, data science tooling, monitoring, and so much more. Our platform already deals with tens of petabytes of data, hundreds of thousands of cpus and millions of containers every month, and it is continually growing.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Use your knowledge of open source, cloud, and devops technologies to implement new platform products for use across Nielsen’s product portfolio.

• Drive cost optimization and efficiency across the platform cloud portfolio.

• Improve our cloud and application security posture by increasing adoption of our security tool stack across our code bases.

• Mentor other platform team members to increase their technical and soft skills.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU

• You have a genuine passion for DevOps and absolutely love learning new technologies. You don’t just want to blindly use platforms and libraries; instead you have a desire to tear them apart and figure out how they work inside. You love scaling and optimizing and seeing just how far or how fast your projects can go. You see all of the building blocks in the community as legos and want to use them to build innovative new solutions at a faster pace than ever.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 6+ years of experience in a DevOps role leading critical projects.

• Intensive knowledge of core DevOps concepts and tools spanning source control, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, monitoring, alerting, and logging.

• Deep knowledge of kubernetes and AWS (or a rival cloud) is mandatory.

• A history of designing and implementing complex products within AWS (or a rival cloud).

• Past experience optimizing cost over large-scale cloud infrastructure.

• Proficiency in Linux, with knowledge of networking and DNS.

• Experience with Big Data (Spark, Presto/Trino, etc) and streaming (Kafka/etc) is a plus.
