  • Act as a technical lead on select project implementations.
  • Learn new technologies and share your knowledge with teammates.
  • Communicate regularly with other project stakeholders regarding project activities including planning, progress, issues and problem resolution.
  • Develop tools to solve operational problems (e.g. pulling data from a 3rd party API, expanding our AWX/Ansible/Inventory automation infrastructure capabilities)

We are looking for people who:

  • Have built complex systems from start to finish
  • Python programming skills for scripting/automation/programming projects
  • Cloud computing administration experience (AWS/GCP)
