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.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • 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.

What Makes You the Hero for This Job:

  • 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.

Superpowers:

  • Extreme Ownership. You own the outcomes, drive initiatives, and solve problems proactively. If you need direction and someone to hold your hand, this job is not for you.
  • Customer Obsessed. Everything we build should leave our customers saying, "Aw dip. This product is off the charts cool. Whoever wrote that code deserves a raise!"
  • Proactive Learning. You stay ahead of the curve, continuously learning and implementing cutting-edge technologies.
  • Team Commitment. You build, mentor, and lead a high-performance engineering team that delivers results together.
  • Self Awareness. You know your strengths, weaknesses, and how to surround yourself with the right talent to succeed.
