Hi Nick, Thanks for the chat this afternoon, I appreciate you spending the time filling me in about Q-Ctrl. The Senior DevOps role sounds like the kind of thing I'd love to sink my teeth into, being an interface between the CTO, devs, and product side of the business. By way of introduction/cover letter, I've been a professional Linux sysadmin for about 13 years now, most of it in the open-source webhosting space. While much of my work is building and maintaining systems, I'm fortunate to have also written technical documentation, developed processes and pipelines, and mentored others. My current focus at work is developing capabilities for our hybrid infrastructure (on-premise and public cloud), which is a lot of automation work for self-service deployment (mostly with Ansible) and the ability to build pipelines in Bamboo for our devs. The public cloud is mostly AWS with some limited use of Azure. GCP is on the table but hasn't been prioritised for integration. I'm well versed in development/testing/build/deployment practices and write most of my own tooling in Python and shell. I understand the challenges that developers face and will fit right into daily/weekly standups if that's what's needed. Although I don't get to practise it very often, I'm also comfortable discussing algorithms, data structures, and performance concerns in lower-level code. Regarding my personal background, my interests are skewed heavily towards STEM, rounded out by some music and languages. Q-Ctrl appeals to me because I see there's a lot of exciting foundational work that needs to be done, being a startup company working in a nascent field. In short, I want to get in there and build something excellent (and I'd love to learn a lot more about quantum mechanics at the same time). I believe my breadth of experience and knowledge would be a great fit for Q-Ctrl. Thanks for your time, I hope we can have a chat soon. My work hours are fairly flexible and I can easily make time to visit Q-Ctrl's offices. Regards, Barney Desmond
