Job description

The Cloud Engineer we hire will help scale our infrastructure from thousands to millions of concurrent users. Look past the title and you'll see $70,000 - $98,000, a MT base, and a mid-level role that asks you to lead, not just execute.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Pulumi and Apache Kafka
• Translate technology compliance rules into Microservices guardrails baked into the build
• Carry the Analytical Thinking platform work that makes Content Solutions LLC's next MT expansion boring
• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Microservices and Analytical Thinking
• Bridge Ansible and Growth Mindset so the two halves of Content Solutions LLC's platform finally talk
• Keep the Datadog build pipeline green so Missoula deploys never wait on a red light
• Apply Ansible and Datadog to solve ego-light engineering challenges
• Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements

What You'll Bring

• The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
• Fluency in Kubernetes earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial

The team at Content Solutions LLC is small, employee-centric, and entirely convinced that Missoula is the best place to reinvent technology. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole technology project.

Compensation lands at $70,000 - $98,000, mentorship is built in, and the path from here to senior technology work is mapped, not vague.

Just updated, just confirmed, just waiting on the right applicant.
