In the role of Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in building, supporting and maintaining the leading software that supports the world of philanthropy.  You’ll be working with cloud components and building out the systems that enable Fluxx to put Donors and Doers together.  Collaborating closely with the engineering team, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining the systems and processes that enable the delivery of Fluxx’s software to our customers and users.

The Senior Infrastructure Engineer will be key to providing technical direction and lead projects to improve and extend our CI/CD process, our delivery and orchestration platform, and our monitoring and logging capabilities. You will also play a key role in ensuring that our systems are resilient and that our cloud costs are well managed.

This is a full time exempt and remote position. Candidates must be located in the United States.

Who we are looking for:

• Someone who looks to debug not just the systems but the processes around them.  Our systems support the world of philanthropy and the people that are building a better world.  Building these systems and processes to respond effectively to failure helps create the future.
• You work in both software engineering and operations.  SRE must live in harmony with both worlds to succeed, understanding what runs where and how to configure the infrastructure to smoothly deliver great service to our clients.
• Pragmatism wins out over idealism, but the ideal is the vision.  The person who would be most successful in this role is someone who has a drive to get to a great state but doesn’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
• Is collaborative in teaching and guiding teams to better practices and understands that Rome wasn’t built in a day and nor was a great delivery pipeline.
• You love resolving issues related to latency, scalability, and performance of core infrastructure
• The thing that really floats your boat is making systems better, not just building new stuff.
• 5+ years of professional software development and infrastructure operations experience
• Expert knowledge in Kubernetes and terraform running on AWS
• Familiarity with Azure and cross-cloud infrastructure

What you’ll do:

• Take part in our on call rotation for production systems as needed
• Design and implement automation of our systems, standardized tooling and process automation where infrastructure is defined in code
• Support our security team in ensuring data integrity
• Work across all engineering to keep our clients served and our systems safe

What you will bring to the team:

• A collaborative educational mindset – you want to work with others, learn from them and teach from experience
• You enjoy getting things done and love showing your work in progress.  You already know that there is no end state, and that iteration is at the core of all improvement.
• You know your way around infrastructure as code (terraform, kubernetes, etc.) and love automating tasks
• You’ve played with various toolsets and are able to look critically at all of them, understanding that what makes something a good solution for one problem doesn’t make it right for another.
