Founded in 2014, our growing team is based in Austin, TX, and has clients in all 50 US states. We’ve grown over 300% in the last three years - with big plans for the future.

We are looking for an experienced DevOps leader to help build out a world-class Azure infrastructure, relentlessly pursue opportunities to automate and improve processes, and help the entire engineering team be successful.

We're at a pivotal point in our growth, and we need your expertise to help us take the next step. Your first major project will be to lead the migration of our infrastructure from a manual, point-and-click deployment model to a modern, automated Infrastructure as Code (IaC) environment within Azure. You won't just be executing a plan or replacing what's broken; you'll lead the initiative to build a scalable, maintainable, and resilient foundation that will accelerate our development cycles and empower our engineering teams. We're looking for someone who sees this as a unique opportunity to shape our entire DevOps philosophy and leave a lasting impact on how we build, deploy, and scale.

• git

• Ability to create reliable and easy-to-maintain Azure DevOps pipelines.

• Deep understanding of Azure networking and security (Virtual Networks, Network Security Groups, etc.)

• Proven experience leading the migration of an organization from point-and-click deployments to Infrastructure as Code.

• Ability to operate in both point-and-click deployment and IaC tools (Terraform), particularly as we transition to the latter.

• A strong preference for self-directed learning and research, with the ability to work autonomously.

• Clear communication skills and strategic thinking.

• Maintain and develop our mature Azure environment.

• Define and lead the strategy for CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps.

• Perform upgrades, enhancements, and migrations with zero/minimal downtime.
  

• Your passion is in traditional systems administration, managing VMs, Kubernetes clusters, or Linux servers, and you dislike PaaS environments.

• You prefer a highly structured, siloed environment where your responsibilities are narrowly defined.

• You're not comfortable with our philosophy of prioritizing simple, maintainable solutions over the most technically complex or cutting-edge ones.
