Product
Meraki Development team operates a set of customer- and internal-facing web applications for our customers to manage their products and accounts with Verisign. All these applications are hosted on a shared environment in Openstack-based cloud infrastructure. All the applications use ReactJS for the user interface and Spring-Boot for the business logic layer. PostgreSQL is used for data persistence layer.
This team also manages a collection of React components implementing a style-guide for internal and external Verisign websites and web applications. These shared components utilize Material-UI design principles and are used across all the web applications the team maintains.
Team
The team possesses extensive technical ownership over the product. The work style of the team is closer to an internal startup where all the team members are involved in the majority of product development phases and are flexible moving between focus areas.
The team follows Agile Development methodology relying on daily Scrums with tickets prioritized in Jira. Our code is located on internal GitHub; we utilize pull request code reviews. For continuous delivery, we use Jenkins with pipelines and our product deployments are automated with Ansible and Terraform. The product can be rolled out from zero to the operating state in a single button click. We do builds for each codebase change as well as nightly builds. We have automated testing with substantial coverage.
It is clearly beneficial if the candidate has experience working with some of the mentioned tools.
