About The Role 

The System Operations team deploys, upgrades, monitors, and maintains complex applications in high availability datacenters worldwide.  The Sr. Systems Engineer role requires a deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure, and the tools required to monitor and maintain it.  The successful candidate will work independently and leverage strong troubleshooting skills to identify problems before clients do.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who:

  • Works flexibly with a variety of team members – we work on a variety of projects and requests at the same time, each of which can be staffed differently and with different client demands.
  • Is eager and excited to learn – a positive, open-minded attitude will ensure quality work and bodes well for long-term career development. 
  • Works hard - while innovation is part of future success, everyone has common tasks that are part of the overall workflow and on which attention to detail and high-quality client service are crucial.
  • Communicates well – this is critical to be able to understand project requirements and to explain processes and complex workflows simply via verbal and written communication.
  • Enjoys working with evolving digital data sources – utilize and develop processes to effectively process and manage new data sources.

  • Develop and maintain thorough internal documentation, including SOPs, technical guidelines, and knowledge base articles to improve team efficiency and continuity.
  • Collaborate with senior team members and cross-functional partners to gather client requirements, offer sound recommendations, and effectively manage expectations.
  • Participate in a rotating on-call schedule, responding to after-hours incidents and ensuring minimal disruption to services.
  • Take on additional tasks and responsibilities as assigned, contributing to team success and continuous improvement.
