- Provide Level 3 engineering support for complex Linux and Windows infrastructure (project-based work)
- Build new infrastructure platforms to support product and warehouse systems
- Collaborate cross-functionally with infrastructure and product teams
- Participate in occasional deployment windows (some nights during implementation phases)
Required Qualifications
- 5–6+ years of systems engineering experience
- Strong Linux administration and debugging experience
- Experience building new infrastructure platforms
- Automation expertise (Terraform, Ansible, Python)
- Familiarity with Chef (expertise not required; willingness to work with it)

- Experience supporting Windows Server environments
- Experience working in enterprise IaaS environments

- Azure infrastructure experience
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) experience
