About The Position

We're iostudio, and we're looking for a DevOps Systems Engineer like you. If you're excited about what comes next, join our team of smart, kind people who believe in making a difference. The DevOps Systems Engineer will design, build, and maintain high-performance web applications across our PHP and JavaScript stacks — including Laravel, Drupal, and WordPress. This position develops B2C and B2B applications from small to enterprise scale, and partners with our Systems Operations team on the design, implementation, and testing of the AWS infrastructure those applications run on. This is a development role first, with a meaningful and recurring infrastructure-collaboration component.

Proficiency with client-side scripting and JavaScript frameworks, including Vue.js
Strong knowledge of Apache, NGINX, and Linux (Ubuntu)
Hands-on AWS experience (compute, networking, IAM fundamentals, deployment)
