We’re looking to hire a senior engineer for our Infrastructure team, which is responsible for keeping our network of 100 cloud servers across 8 AWS regions and their associated services running like a well-oiled machine.

  • Proficiency with configuration management tools, such as Chef or Puppet, and fluency with at least one major scripting language.
