System Engineer

Remote (Based at an approved local secure facility). We work US time zones and ask that you're available during those hours, even if that means adjusting your schedule.

This role exists to design, deploy, and maintain systems infrastructure that reliably supports organizational operations. You will optimize system performance and plan capacity to ensure systems scale efficiently as demand grows. Your work is highly autonomous—you make decisions about architecture and optimization strategies. The team is internationally distributed and works primarily asynchronously through documentation and recorded updates. You own the reliability and efficiency of systems that the organization depends on.

• Design system architectures using virtualization platforms (VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, KVM, Open Stack) that meet performance and scalability requirements.
• Optimize system performance through configuration tuning, resource allocation, and monitoring to ensure efficient operations.
• Plan infrastructure capacity using capacity planning tools to forecast growth and ensure systems support future demand.
• Implement automation solutions using infrastructure as code to standardize deployments and reduce manual configuration work.

• Knowledge of system architecture design principles and best practices for infrastructure design.
• Experience optimizing system performance through tuning, monitoring, and resource management.
• Proficiency with virtualization platforms including VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, KVM, or Open Stack.
