The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in systems administration, networking, AWS, Infrastructure-as-Code, containers, and production operations. You'll partner closely with software engineering and other technical teams to improve infrastructure reliability, automation, security, monitoring, and deployment processes while taking meaningful ownership of production systems.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 3–5 years of experience in Systems Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Network Engineering, DevOps, or a related role

  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins
  • Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK
  • Understanding of IAM/SSO, secrets management, vulnerability management, and infrastructure security
  • Experience supporting and troubleshooting production infrastructure
  • Translate business requirements into technical test cases and acceptance criteria for complex systems
  • Help define and execute the overall testing strategy, including UAT and IAT
  • Build deep technical knowledge of the platform to eventually support Sales and other non-technical teams in understanding system functionality
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and business teams

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable and secure infrastructure across AWS and on-premises environments
  • Administer Linux and Windows servers, including patching, performance tuning, and lifecycle management
  • Build and maintain networking infrastructure including VPNs, firewalls, load balancers, VPCs, and subnet architecture
  • Support CI/CD pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes workloads, and Infrastructure-as-Code
  • Manage identity, access controls, credentials, and secure system access
  • Monitor infrastructure health and proactively identify performance and reliability issues
  • Implement and maintain security controls, vulnerability management, and patching processes
  • Support backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity
  • Participate in production incident response and perform root-cause analysis
  • Support infrastructure and operational requirements for AI-enabled applications and automation
  • Assist with capacity planning, performance tuning, and cloud cost optimization
  • Create and maintain architecture documentation, runbooks, and operational procedures
  • Collaborate with Software Engineering, Product, and Operations teams on infrastructure needs and platform improvements

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Okta or another enterprise SSO platform
  • Experience supporting AI/LLM-powered applications or APIs in production
  • Experience with backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity processes
