ABOUT THE ROLE
Our Infrastructure team builds and operates the cloud platform that engineering teams at REPAY ship on. We own the Kubernetes environments, AWS account structure, CI/CD paths, and the observability and TLS/edge tooling that keep production healthy. As an Associate Platform Engineer, you'll join as an early-career engineer and grow into an owner of these systems - starting with well-scoped work and paired mentorship, and taking on more surface area as you ramp.
This is a hands-on role for someone who likes understanding how systems fit together, is comfortable in a terminal, and wants to learn cloud infrastructure and reliability engineering from a team that does it every day. As a fully remote role, it's a great fit for someone who communicates clearly in writing and can stay organized and self-directed.
RESPONSIBILITIES- Support and extend our Kubernetes platform - deployments, tooling, and the automation that watches over our clusters.
- Help provision and manage AWS accounts and cloud resources using infrastructure-as-code.
- Build and maintain observability - dashboards, alerts, and metrics in Splunk - so we catch problems before customers do.
- Automate routine operational work, such as certificate renewals and edge/TLS configuration.
- Pick up on-call and incident-response duties (with support) as you gain confidence and help write the runbooks that make the next incident easier.
- Track and deliver your work through Jira and contribute to code reviews and team documentation.
QUALIFICATIONSRequired- 0-2 years of experience in software, infrastructure, DevOps, or a related internship - or a strong CS/related degree with demonstrated hands-on projects.
- Comfort with at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Go, Bash, or similar).
- Working familiarity with Linux and the command line.
- Curiosity about cloud infrastructure and a genuine interest in how distributed systems run in production.
- Clear written communication and a collaborative, ask-questions-early attitude - especially important on a distributed, remote team.
Preferred- Exposure to AWS or another cloud provider.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes or containers (Docker).
- Any experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation), CI/CD, or monitoring tools.
- A homelab, side project, or coursework you're proud of.
