Work From Home - Earn Something By Just Working At Home

Build. Automate. Scale. Repeat.

We’re looking for a Senior Systems Engineer who loves clean infrastructure, bulletproof deployments, and systems that just work. If you get excited about automation, believe everything should be codified, and enjoy solving complex reliability challenges — you’ll fit right in.

You’ll play a key role in designing scalable cloud environments, modernizing infrastructure, and ensuring our systems are fast, secure, and highly available.

What You’ll Be Doing

Designing and managing CI/CD pipelines that make deployments smooth, reliable, and drama-free
Automating infrastructure using tools like Terraform and Ansible
Building and managing containerized environments with Docker and orchestrating them with Kubernetes
Provisioning and optimizing compute environments across Amazon EC2, VMware, and Azure Virtual Machines
Maintaining and improving infrastructure across Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and hybrid environments
Implementing observability and monitoring solutions using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK Stack
Troubleshooting performance issues before they become incidents
Collaborating with developers to streamline workflows and improve delivery velocity

What You Bring

Solid experience as a Senior Systems Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or SRE
Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or CircleCI
Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) — networking, compute, storage, and security
Experience managing virtualization platforms such as VMware
Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, or similar)
A passion for reliability, automation, and clean architecture
