About the role:

Mythic IT and DevOps is a team of six, looking to add our seventh. As a relatively small company, we are responsible for nearly every aspect of IT - network, compute, storage, and applications.

We're scrappy, smart, and get to make high-impact decisions nearly every day. All of the work we do is done with the intent to scale as we move into a phase of rapid growth. To be successful on this team, you have to be willing to get your hands dirty, work outside of your comfort zone, and build systems from scratch that will form the foundation for our future.
