Full Job Description
Overview

You will be a traditional company employee. This is a remote position, but if you're near one of our local offices, you're welcome to come hangout with us in-office as well. Our main offices are in Post Falls, ID, and Spokane, WA; we also have satellite offices in Austin, TX, and Salt Lake City, UT. You'll be working 40 hours a week and, of course, enjoy great company benefits. Our Site Reliability Engineer should help keep our systems steady, secure, and running like a well-oiled machine (except without actual oil). You'll work closely with our DevOps engineers to build out tools and automation that make things faster, easier, and less painful for everyone.

Your main job? Stop problems before they start. And when something does break (because let's be real-it will), help us fix it quickly and learn from it so we don't do the same dumb thing twice. We're big on taking ownership here. You won't get blamed for something going wrong-but you will be expected to help make it right.

If you like digging into weird errors, thinking ahead, and making things just work-even when no one notices-this might be your kind of thing.

  • Paid Parental Leave

  • Open concept office with friendly coworkers
  • Creative environment where you can make a difference
  • No dumb benefits like free dog walking on the weekends that snobby hipster places have to make you feel cool, but mathematically won't cost the company much money because you won't use it
