About The Position

We are obsessed with the hero's journey at JobNimbus. Every person has a hero's journey—Hermione Granger, James T. Kirk, Frodo Baggins, Anna & Elsa, Nacho Libre, and even YOU! This is our “call to adventure” to come check out JobNimbus. What do you have to lose? You might make a few new friends, learn about a sick new company doing some amazing things, and maybe even land a new job! Mission: Build reliable, scalable, and well-automated infrastructure that keeps JobNimbus running smoothly — while eliminating toil and growing into a trusted, independent owner of the platform.

Requirements

Solid experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent) — you can build and deploy independently.
Working knowledge of AWS (compute, networking, storage, IAM) and how cloud architecture decisions impact reliability and cost.
Understanding of containers (Docker) and container orchestration concepts.
Experience working with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred).
Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools — you know how to implement alerts that matter, not noise.
Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, or Go).
Comfortable participating in on-call rotations and handling production issues with composure.
Understands failure modes, blast radius, and why operational discipline matters.
Bias toward automation — if you do it twice, you think about scripting it.
Clear communicator — you explain dependencies, surface risks early, and write documentation others actually use.
Growth mindset — you actively learn from incidents, code reviews, and feedback.
Extreme Ownership — when you own a system, you improve it. You don’t just keep it alive.

Responsibilities

Design, deploy, and operate infrastructure components independently — owning them end-to-end from Terraform to monitoring dashboards.
Build and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform) with observability, failure modes, and blast radius in mind.
Participate in the primary on-call rotation — triaging incidents, resolving pages, escalating appropriately, and improving systems after every event.
Create and maintain runbooks so future incidents are resolved faster and with less friction.
Implement SLIs and monitoring for the systems you own, ensuring they meet reliability expectations.
Automate repetitive operational tasks — measuring time saved and reducing manual intervention across the team.
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred), improving deployment reliability and developer experience.
Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to understand their infrastructure needs and deliver pragmatic solutions.
Provide thoughtful code review feedback within your domain and continuously improve documentation.
Use AI tools in your daily workflow to accelerate delivery — validating output carefully and sharing useful patterns with teammates.
Continuously deepen expertise in at least one specialty area (Kubernetes, observability, CI/CD, cloud networking, etc.) while maintaining broad platform competency.
