Why is working in this department AMAZING!

Access to the latest tools and technologies. Ability to create new solutions for the existing processes and push them to the business. Collaboration with different teams offers a good view into the business and product as a whole rather than being focused on one area.

What does the future of this department look like? Where is this going and why do I want to come along for the ride?

We work quickly. We work on new technology and learn about new tools all the time. With a focus on security, speed and accuracy there is always something to work on. The team is growing, and we are looking to strengthen each area we focus on: cicd, monitoring, security, infrastructure.

In a nutshell, what will I do every day in this role?

Working and collaborating with different development teams in order to get the product built, tested and deployed in a smooth manner. Monitoring, adjusting and designing the CICD process while prioritizing speed and security.

Why will I love this job within the context of our pillars?

Build:

We are always working on improving the tools we work with and the challenges coming out way by investigating new options, new features and new solutions.

Evolve:

The challenges we face are always changing so we must react quickly. Working together or independently we tackle the issues and update our documents, so we don’t encounter those issues next time.

Own with Accountability:

Everyone owns what they work on. By having more ownership and accountability in the work that is being done you can have more of a say in what goes into the product.

Go Fast and Win:

We are a startup and we move fast! We have an awesome product, and we must keep going fast to get it to be the best it can be.

Just Say It:

One of the values of Briq is Just Say It which we hope lets folks reach out anytime and speak their mind freely. Given how fast technology is changing, speaking one’s mind is an important step in getting the best solutions in place.
