Job description

We're hiring a Site Reliability Engineer for the unglamorous, essential work of making Elasticsearch fast enough that nobody notices it at all. Pair joyfully-rigorous drive with 3 years and Community Impact Foundation returns $81,000 - $114,000, a Brooklyn Park base, and growth that outpaces the title.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the bias-to-action Jenkins subsystem that the rest of Community Impact Foundation quietly depends on
• Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
• Set the Amazon ECS coding standards the rest of Community Impact Foundation engineering follows
• Wrangle CKA Certification config across environments so Brooklyn Park staging mirrors production
• Walk technology stakeholders through CKA Certification tradeoffs in language Community Impact Foundation execs grasp
• Keep the technology Jenkins service humming through Brooklyn Park's holiday traffic surge
• Translate a napkin idea from Community Impact Foundation founders into an Analytical Thinking experiment-friendly prototype

What You'll Bring

• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
• Enough Nginx to be dangerous, enough Cross-Functional Collaboration to be trusted
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time

The underdog-spirited culture at Community Impact Foundation is what keeps our Brooklyn Park, MN team building remarkable things together. At Community Impact Foundation you're trusted with the why, not just handed the what.

We'll invest in you with $81,000 - $114,000, full benefits, and a roadmap that turns this job into a long-term career.
