Job description

Overview:
Two Barrels is looking to hire an IT Infrastructure Manager. What does that mean here? It means you're the one keeping our networks flowing, our packets behaving, and our infrastructure team from rage-quitting over a misconfigured VLAN.
You know how to coax a stubborn router back to life without yelling at it (too much), and when you hear the phrase "broadcast storm," you don't panic-you just sigh, roll up your sleeves, and fix it. You might even have a favorite network topology diagram, and that's okay. We don't judge here. We've all named our switches something we wouldn't want in the audit logs.
You won't be in the server room wiring things up (we've got boots-on-the-ground folks for that), but you'll be the person designing, leading, and managing how it all talks to each other across our infrastructure-so nothing catches fire (metaphorically). If you've got a soft spot for clean configs, high uptime, and turning chaos into something that actually scales, keep reading.
Location:
Johnston, IA | Remote | Spokane, WA
Duration:
Full Time
Wage:
Up to $185,000/year
Responsibilities:

• Making sure our data center infrastructure runs like a dream-power, cooling, servers, networks, security, the works
• Leading a small-but-mighty team of systems engineers who know their stuff (but appreciate a solid manager who helps clear roadblocks)
• Being the go-to human for infrastructure issues, scaling, and improvements
• Planning for capacity growth
• Working closely with our dev teams to make sure what they build doesn't set anything on fire
• Handling vendors, procurement, and warranties

Minimum Qualifications:

• At least 5 years experience with Linux
• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience)
• Have years of data center ops experience and know the difference between a patch panel and a panic attack
• You also have years of professional management experience in this type of field
• Professional experience managing daily data center operations and IT infrastructure
• Can explain RAID to your 3 year old niece
• Think uptime is a personal challenge
• Troubleshoot most things without having to call someone else
• Experience with Open Source software

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in WordPress hosting
• Experience running large scale data center infrastructure and lived to tell the tale
• Past experience participating in the building of a data center IT infrastructure
• Experience with hardware scaling

Why you might like this job:
You want to continue your experience of building IT infrastructure. Developing a team. Solve problems.
In short, you want to pull off something pretty cool.
Benefits:

• Great Wage & Success Meetings with your manager
• Work From Home comfort package & company provided equipment
• 22 days paid time off annually, PLUS 4 paid holidays
• Up to 5% 401k employer matching through Fidelity
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental and vision for employees
• Maternity and Paternity Leave
• Flexible hours
• Coffee shop next door
• Crappy parking? Oh, I mean a cool downtown location for easy public transportation options...
