About The Position

Keep payroll available — then make it hard to break. PrismHR is the HR, payroll, and benefits platform used by employer-services organizations across the US, backed by Vensure Employer Solutions. Availability here is not an SLA conversation; it is whether people get paid. The environment is mid-transformation: self-hosted infrastructure and Azure, legacy and modern, at the same time. You will ensure availability and performance across hosting services, work with senior management on designing and supporting new hosted services, and spend real time making things better — automating manual work, enforcing compliance standards, evolving configuration management. You will also diagnose full-stack problems end to end (network, authentication, SSL, application), own topology documentation, build and test disaster recovery, and act as technical lead and mentor for the team.

Requirements

Bachelor's in Computer Science, MIS, or Engineering
7–10 years relevant experience

Strong scripting
Design-level expertise for SaaS platforms
