A successful candidate brings solid engineering fundamentals, a proactive mindset in identifying and solving issues, and a commitment to quality, reliability, and continuous improvement. What makes this role impactful is the opportunity to take on meaningful ownership of platform features, collaborate across teams, and develop both your technical depth and leadership skills through mentoring and hands-on problem solving.

In this role, you'll primarily work virtually from home or another non-Best Buy location. However, you must live within a drivable distance to our corporate campus in Richfield, Minnesota.

  • Break down complex problems into manageable tasks and deliver features with end-to-end ownership
  • Write high-quality, well-tested infrastructure-as-code while promoting reliability and monitoring best practices
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues across environments, including production, with minimal oversight
  • Mentor junior engineers and collaborate cross-functionally to improve team performance and outcomes


Basic qualifications
  • 3 years of relevant experience with a bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience, can included schooling
  • 2 years of experience delivering enterprise compute platform features independently with strong technical execution
  • 3 years Linux experience
  • 2 years of experience with AWS IAM Roles and Permissions, security groups, monitoring and logging
  • 3 years of experience in EC2/VM system architecture, design and implementation as a service
  • Ability to identify risks, solving moderately complex problems, and make sound technical trade-offs
  • Familiarity with SDLC, agile practices, and modern development tools (testing, monitoring, automation)

Preferred qualifications
  • AWS Solutions Architect Professional Certification
  • 4 years of professional experience
  • 1 years of experience supporting AWS EC2, Auto-Scaling and Application Load Balancing
  • 1 years of configuration management tooling experience: Terraform, Chef, Puppet & Ansible
