About The Position

We are modernizing our enterprise technology infrastructure & applications. We're looking for an experienced Enterprise Systems Engineer who wants to play a leading role in that transformation, reporting directly to the VP of Information Technology. While this is not a software engineering position, we expect the successful candidate to be comfortable writing production-quality code when it is the best solution to the problem. This is an opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical problems that span infrastructure, software, databases, cloud platforms, applications, and systems integration. You'll have significant autonomy in determining technical approaches while collaborating closely with IT leadership and business stakeholders. You'll have the opportunity to work across multiple technology domains, both on-prem and cloud, while helping define the next generation of our technology stack. If you're the type of engineer who enjoys taking an ambiguous problem, uncovering the root cause, evaluating multiple technical approaches, implementing the right solution, and then helping the organization successfully adopt it—you'll thrive in this role.
