Job Description

About the role

The Junior DevOps Engineer supports a hybrid infrastructure spanning on‑premises environments and leading cloud platforms. This role blends hands‑on systems administration with automation and infrastructure‑as‑code (IaC) to improve reliability, scalability, and delivery speed. You will manage Linux servers, assist with provisioning and maintaining cloud and on‑prem resources, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, and implement monitoring and alerting across systems and applications. You will also help build new on‑prem infrastructure using an IaC‑first approach. The ideal candidate has foundational Linux and networking skills, can script to reduce manual work, and collaborates effectively in agile teams. Familiarity with data centers or cryptocurrency mining operations is a plus. Occasional travel and light physical activity may be required.

  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) for build, test, and deployment automation.
  • Implement and manage monitoring/alerting using logging and metrics tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK) and respond to alerts.
  • Build and maintain on‑premises infrastructure using an infrastructure‑as‑code first approach.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

  • Basic proficiency in Linux administration and networking fundamentals (DNS, TLS, firewalls, load balancers).
  • Understanding of data center or cryptocurrency mining operations (preferred).
  • Experience working within agile teams and following documented procedures.
  • Strong problem‑solving skills, willingness to learn, and effective collaboration/communication.

Education and Experience  

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 0–3 years of experience with Linux administration.
  • Scripting or coding experience in at least one language (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell, C/C++, C#) and familiarity with Git.
  • Familiarity with IaC or configuration management tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation) preferred.

Work Environment

  • Prolonged periods of desk/computer work.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds on occasion.
  • Ability to travel to job sites and move through facilities to gather necessary data.
  • Ability to bend, stoop, reach, and pull as required.

Compensation and Benefits  

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • 401k plan with company matching
  • Great medical, vision, and dental plans to choose from
