Job Description

Firespring looks for something different in the engineers we hire. Our engineers work in a dynamic environment where the average day is spent coding, problem-solving, and strategically thinking about how to improve our systems. We believe in building quality infrastructure that we can be proud of, and we don’t operate with a lot of red tape. We aren’t afraid to swap out pieces of our infrastructure with a better solution if it makes sense for the future.

In this role, you will play a key part in supporting our infrastructure while developing the tools and dashboards that keep our internal teams running smoothly. We are looking for a proactive, future-thinking individual with the self-confidence to take ownership of their work.

Tasks and Responsibilities

• Design and develop internal applications and custom dashboards to streamline company operations and improve system visibility.
• Assist in maintaining secure, scalable AWS infrastructure using CloudFormation to treat infrastructure as code (IaC) with version control and change sets.
• Support and improve deployment pipelines using AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild to ensure our release processes are seamless and reliable.
• Monitor system health using centralized logs and alerts, helping to build the dashboards that ensure we identify issues before our users do.
• Perform routine administration and troubleshooting of Linux-based systems while assisting with security standards via AWS Config and Security Hub.

Qualifications

• Background in object-oriented programming with the ability to write scripts in Python, PHP, or Bash to automate tasks and build web application backends.
• Comfortable working in a Linux environment with a solid understanding of command-line navigation, networking basics, and DNS.
• You aren’t intimidated by new technology; instead, you enjoy the challenge of learning new tools and growing your technical skillset.
• A natural problem-solver who enjoys digging into the root cause of an issue and taking ownership of the fix.
• Exposure to or an interest in modern building blocks like Docker, MySQL, and NGINX in a production-grade environment.
