Software Engineer- NGP- Continuous Delivery- Nike Technology

Job description

Nike does more than outfit the world's best athletes. We are a place to explore potential, obliterate boundaries, and push out the edges of what is possible. We're looking for people who can adapt, think, dream, and create. We thrive in a culture that embraces diversity and rewards imagination. We seek achievers, leaders and visionaries. At Nike, it's about bringing what you have to a challenging and constantly evolving game.

Working in our organization will be rewarding, challenging, and—most definitely—not be just another job.

As an engineer on this team, you will:
•Deliver solutions using scalable, resilient, cloud-native patterns
•Develop tools and frameworks to improve the security, reliability, and maintainability of our cloud container platform
•Collaborate with other Nike teams to help promote the platform, tools, and team
•Identify and propose process improvements that contribute to the success of the team
•Serve as a subject matter expert on continuous delivery patterns and software-defined infrastructure in a DevOps-focused organization
