Infrastructure Ops Engineer

Responsibilities

• Infrastructure Ops engineers are our human to metal interface. They manage the foundation that everything else is built on, and provide the tools to support our Platform team and Fly.io end customers. This is one of the most important roles in the company.
• You care about users. You can empathize with the problems they encounter using our products and build solutions that treat reliability as a feature.
• You’re excited about building tools and systems to safely operate a fleet of bare metal servers that outnumber your team 1000:1.
• You’re comfortable building things that are imperfect and solve the problems we’re facing right now; our infrastructure is evolving rapidly as we scale.
• You want to help the team develop green-field automation, infrastructure-as-code, observability and alerting work; we’re up to our eyeballs in fun infra projects.
• You know how to prioritize when everything is vying for your attention. Even if it means letting some fires burn while you put out more important ones. We’re building something big and ambitious with a very tight team; small fires are common!
• We are active in developer communities, including our own at community.fly.io.
• If you’re interested, send a message . You can tell us a bit about yourself, if you like. Please also include 1. your GitHub username (so we can create a private work sample repo for you) 2. your location (so we know what timezone you’re in for scheduling) and 3. a sentence about your favorite food (so we know you’re not a bot.)
