Senior Systems Engineer
At VideoAmp, we believe that Engineering is more than just executing on requirements or delivering against a roadmap, but about inspiring a group of creative thinkers to solve challenges that other companies would shy away from because “they are too risky”.
We are looking for a self-driven systems engineer responsible for automating and maintaining system build processes, deploying software services, and orchestrating Docker containers via Kubernetes. This is a critical role for the company - the work you do is impactful and no two days are the same.
The successful candidate is a motivated, hardworking leader who possesses an extremely high bar for themselves and the quality of their work product. This is a highly technical position that requires a breadth of knowledge across multiple systems as well as a depth of knowledge on very specific technologies.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Automating and maintaining infrastructure builds in AWS/GCP/On-Prem to support applications running on bare metal servers, cloud instances, and kubernetes.
- Managing infrastructure hardware and software inventory and lifecycles
- Write and deploy infrastructure monitoring, metrics gathering, and auto remediation
QUALIFICATIONS:
- 5+ years of experience as a Systems Engineer or equivalent role
- 4+ years of proficient experience in deploying highly available and resilient infrastructure as code, preferably in Terraform
- Experience deploying, managing, and configuring Linux operating systems such as CentOS.
- Ability to write shell scripts, Python and Ruby are a bonus
