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
