Job description

Hi, we're CompanyCam. We're a simple-to-use photo documentation and productivity app for contractors of all commercial and home services industries. Packed with intuitive functionality, CompanyCam facilitates unparalleled communication and accountability across a contractor's entire business. We're committed to providing a consumer-grade, game-changing experience that helps our users build trust within their company and with their customers.

But don't let that corporate description fool you—the people behind our buttoned-up product are laid‑back (but hardworking), genuine, and kickass, and you could be one of them!

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, self‑motivated, problem‑solving Senior Infrastructure Engineer to join our team.

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you'll work with a small team to build solutions in AWS that keep CompanyCam's web and mobile applications humming. You'll collaborate with product engineers to deploy new features and improve our existing infrastructure to make it more reliable, resilient, and secure.

You'll bring depth in one or more of the following: database operations and performance tuning, search infrastructure (OpenSearch/Elasticsearch), or observability and monitoring. You'll help us scale and harden the systems that underpin CompanyCam's products as we grow. If you have strong infrastructure skills and experience in another area, we'd love to talk.

Working At CompanyCam

Our engineering team is remote‑first, spanning every timezone across the U.S. We welcome all backgrounds and value capability over credentials; whether you have a CS degree, a high school diploma, or no diploma at all, if you're skilled and collaborative, you're welcome here.

We partner with product teams who work in synchronized multi‑week cycles with dedicated planning phases. Our team actively collaborates with these product teams while ensuring smooth operation and continuous improvement of our production systems. We share weekly updates to track goals and maintain alignment, while giving you the flexibility to manage your work in the way that works best for you.

Meetings are purposeful and few. We champion a healthy work environment where you can focus on quality work during your 8‑hour day and then log off. Nights and weekends are for you, not for work.

What We Ask Of You

Must-haves

These are our non‑negotiables:

• Show up: give us your best and have the bravery to do difficult but necessary stuff.
• Grow up: take responsibility, learn continuously, and have a growth mindset.
• Do good: treat your co‑workers and our customers the way you want to be treated.
• Strong knowledge of AWS, including its networking, relational database management, and cloud storage services.
• Experience operating and tuning PostgreSQL or similar relational databases in production.
• Experience deploying containerized applications and working with GitHub Actions and Terraform.
• Capable of scripting in bash, ruby and/or python.
• Able to break down a complex task and document its solution.
• Understands how to analyze an existing system to identify improvements.
• Experience with AWS ECS/EKS Fargate.
• Experience operating or tuning OpenSearch/Elasticsearch clusters.
• Be technically savvy and hungry to learn.
• Reside permanently and currently somewhere in the U.S. Alas, we're not set up to hire outside of the U.S.

Nice-to-haves

Day to day, you'll spend most of your time designing, improving and deploying infrastructure services to AWS. You'll be able to have even more impact if you have expertise in one or more of the following:

• Datadog, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
• PGBouncer or similar connection pooling tools
• AWS Fargate, Aurora PostgresSQL or OpenSearch
• Designing systems for high availability and resiliency
• Experience using AI/LLM tools to improve infrastructure or engineering workflows
• Producing and presenting educational content of technical concepts
