We are looking for an AWS System Administrator or Devops engineer to join our Client Infrastructure team to oversee the delivery of our software solutions to our US customer base. We are in an exciting time as we transition our game-changing legal software to a highly scalable container-based platform, from the existing Infrastructure-as-Code AWS implementation.
In the short term, your immediate focus will be support of the existing product and the infrastructure that drives it. Over the next 12 months we'll be moving to the new environment which will mean you get to be an early part of the engineering and support of the new container-based platform, deployed to AWS, across multiple regions.
Working in the global Client Infrastructure team to ensure the success of our product, you will act as an escalation point for high severity incidents for other AWS infrastructure issues, and you will also be a point of contact for customer support technical teams to make queries in relation to engineering/infrastructure best practices for using the Opus 2 software on-premise.
This is a remote role, whilst Pittsburgh is our office location we are open to this being anywhere in the US.
