We are obsessed with the hero's journey at JobNimbus. Every person has a hero's journey—Hermione Granger, James T. Kirk, Frodo Baggins, Anna & Elsa, Nacho Libre, and even YOU! This is our “call to adventure” to come check out JobNimbus. What do you have to lose? You might make a few new friends, learn about a sick new company doing some amazing things, and maybe even land a new job!
Mission:
Build reliable, scalable, and well-automated infrastructure that keeps JobNimbus running smoothly — while eliminating toil and growing into a trusted, independent owner of the platform.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Design, deploy, and operate infrastructure components independently — owning them end-to-end from Terraform to monitoring dashboards.
- Build and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform) with observability, failure modes, and blast radius in mind.
- Participate in the primary on-call rotation — triaging incidents, resolving pages, escalating appropriately, and improving systems after every event.
- Create and maintain runbooks so future incidents are resolved faster and with less friction.
- Implement SLIs and monitoring for the systems you own, ensuring they meet reliability expectations.
- Automate repetitive operational tasks — measuring time saved and reducing manual intervention across the team.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred), improving deployment reliability and developer experience.
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to understand their infrastructure needs and deliver pragmatic solutions.
- Provide thoughtful code review feedback within your domain and continuously improve documentation.
- Use AI tools in your daily workflow to accelerate delivery — validating output carefully and sharing useful patterns with teammates.
- Continuously deepen expertise in at least one specialty area (Kubernetes, observability, CI/CD, cloud networking, etc.) while maintaining broad platform competency.
What Makes You the Hero for This Job:
- Solid experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent) — you can build and deploy independently.
- Working knowledge of AWS (compute, networking, storage, IAM) and how cloud architecture decisions impact reliability and cost.
- Understanding of containers (Docker) and container orchestration concepts.
- Experience working with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred).
- Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools — you know how to implement alerts that matter, not noise.
- Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, or Go).
- Comfortable participating in on-call rotations and handling production issues with composure.
- Understands failure modes, blast radius, and why operational discipline matters.
- Bias toward automation — if you do it twice, you think about scripting it.
- Clear communicator — you explain dependencies, surface risks early, and write documentation others actually use.
- Growth mindset — you actively learn from incidents, code reviews, and feedback.
- Extreme Ownership — when you own a system, you improve it. You don’t just keep it alive.
Superpowers:
- Extreme Ownership. You own the outcomes, drive initiatives, and solve problems proactively. If you need direction and someone to hold your hand, this job is not for you.
- Customer Obsessed. Everything we build should leave our customers saying, "Aw dip. This product is off the charts cool. Whoever wrote that code deserves a raise!"
- Proactive Learning. You stay ahead of the curve, continuously learning and implementing cutting-edge technologies.
- Team Commitment. You build, mentor, and lead a high-performance engineering team that delivers results together.
- Self Awareness. You know your strengths, weaknesses, and how to surround yourself with the right talent to succeed.
