You’ll work directly with other DevOps engineers on our teams, and alongside the rest of engineering to build, automate, and manage our infrastructures so they can focus on their applications.

You’ve been always looking for that job that gives you the freedom to build crazy tools from scratch. You’ve always wondered if there’s a place where profits and titles aren’t everyone’s motivation. Where people just want you to make great software tools. You like the idea of working for a locally-owned and operated company that competes in an extremely competitive space nationwide. You like that your work matters today and will affect millions of our business customers and employees.

You love to help people, but you want to take part in the planning without being required to deal with stakeholders and project managers all day. You want to make cool stuff and help other devs out and the company. You want your cool stuff to be really good. But most importantly, if you made a dish of noodles and butter for someone and asked them what they thought of it, if they said it was okay or good and didn’t give you feedback, you’d feel a little left out… you’d want a little more… because okay or good isn’t fulfilling to you.

But at the same time… it’s just a job. Yourself/Family/Friends/Personal Time is number 1. Work is number 2 or 3. Our goal is to use the incredible business we are excited to be a part of to support all of our personal time. We all want to live a full personal life. We’ll have more fun working together during the day if we know there’s a clear cutoff. This way, we can create a work environment where we can not only go home at the end of the day, but mentally shut off work and mentally go home also. We focus on creating a welcoming, supportive job environment that pays well and doesn’t stress you out, so when you call it a day, you go have fun personally.
