The engineering team at Root strives to be one of the most transformative engineering teams ever. We’re changing the way that car insurance works. We’re competing with companies that have been around for a century and comprise a $200B industry—and we’re doing it with an astonishingly small team.
Our tech stack includes:
Ruby / Rails backend, RSpec for testing
Javascript / React Native frontend, Mocha for testing
Small amounts of native iOS and Android
Deployment to AWS ECS using containers
Buildkite for CI
We've raised the largest VC round ever for an Ohio technology company and most recently launched our IPO (https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/28/3-lessons-from-roots-ipo-p...)
Our team excels at delivering software to build Root’s products: presently, mobile apps and a backend platform for personal auto insurance. We’ve shaped our team and our way of working around this. Our engineering team would not be the most transformative team at building a mobile operating system. We’d be quite bad at that. We’re exceptionally good at building the type of software that is necessary to invoke change in the insurance industry.

About the position
We deploy our applications using Amazon Elastic Container Service running Docker containers. For our data analytics platforms, we use a combination of AWS Redshift, Hadoop, and GPU servers. We’re looking for a devsecops engineer to help secure these platforms. You’ll be joining a small team dedicated to securing Root, having a large opportunity to influence how we build and secure these systems. In addition to taking on security-specific initiatives you would work closely with and often pair with other engineers working on Root’s infrastructure.
We're looking for somebody experienced with:
- securing cloud based Linux servers and networks in a production environment
- creating monitoring and alert pipelines for security events
- infrastructure-as-code and managing infrastructure via APIs
- understanding of network configuration, common protocols, and subnetting
- Docker and containers
- a configuration management tool such as Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or Chef
- Git
It’d also be helpful to have experience with the following technologies, although it’s not required:
- AWS tools and solutions for securing your infrastructure (like GuardDuty, SecurityHub, IAM)
- Securing continuous delivery pipelines
- Securing containers and AWS ECS
