About The Position

Firespring looks for something different in the engineers we hire. Our engineers work in a dynamic environment where the average day is spent coding, problem-solving, and strategically thinking about how to improve our systems. We believe in building quality infrastructure that we can be proud of, and we don’t operate with a lot of red tape. We aren’t afraid to swap out pieces of our infrastructure with a better solution if it makes sense for the future.
In this role, you will play a key part in supporting our infrastructure while developing the tools and dashboards that keep our internal teams running smoothly. We are looking for a proactive, future-thinking individual with the self-confidence to take ownership of their work.

Requirements

• Background in object-oriented programming with the ability to write scripts in Python, PHP, or Bash to automate tasks and build web application backends.
• Comfortable working in a Linux environment with a solid understanding of command-line navigation, networking basics, and DNS.
• You aren’t intimidated by new technology; instead, you enjoy the challenge of learning new tools and growing your technical skillset.
• A natural problem-solver who enjoys digging into the root cause of an issue and taking ownership of the fix.
• Exposure to or an interest in modern building blocks like Docker, MySQL, and NGINX in a production-grade environment.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop internal applications and custom dashboards to streamline company operations and improve system visibility.
• Assist in maintaining secure, scalable AWS infrastructure using CloudFormation to treat infrastructure as code (IaC) with version control and change sets.
• Support and improve deployment pipelines using AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild to ensure our release processes are seamless and reliable.
• Monitor system health using centralized logs and alerts, helping to build the dashboards that ensure we identify issues before our users do.
• Perform routine administration and troubleshooting of Linux-based systems while assisting with security standards via AWS Config and Security Hub.

Benefits

• Salary—You don’t need to go to the grocery store to bring home the bacon. We reward candidates who wow us by offering competitive pay
• Hours—40 hrs, flexibility required.
• 401(k)—Your parents preached about the importance of saving. Now we’re helping you get it done. Firespring provides professional financial advisors who will help you make a plan and guide your investments.
• Fun—Millions of people go to work, punch the clock from 8 to 5 and hate every moment of it. That’s not the case here. We prioritize loving your experience here and have a group of people dedicated to creating activities inside and outside the office. To put it mildly, we’re serious about having fun—and it reflects in our work and the relationships too.
• Miscellaneous Benefits—Not all benefits are about the Benjamins, baby. Some of the things you’ll enjoy while working here include unlimited soft drinks, tea and beer. Dress code? We want you to have personal freedom—just stick to the general guidelines of your role and you be you.
