Remote AWS SysOps Administrator

Transform How Teams Operate—From Anywhere

Imagine a role where your expertise with cloud environments becomes the silent force behind resilient operations, seamless deployments, and a culture of operational excellence. If you thrive on turning chaos into clarity, thrive on optimizing processes, and love owning mission-critical systems that keep global teams humming, this opportunity is designed for you. With a fully remote setup and an annual salary of $85,000, you'll join a forward-thinking environment where your technical insight genuinely shapes the business’s future.

What Impact Looks Like Here

Success in this role means more than uptime—it means enabling ambitious teams to launch features and support clients with absolute confidence. Picture yourself orchestrating robust AWS cloud environments, automating daily tasks with infrastructure-as-code, and designing monitoring solutions that proactively prevent issues before they reach users. Here, your choices define the security, speed, and reliability of every product and process we deploy worldwide.

Key Responsibilities—Driving Real-World Results

  • Architect and maintain highly available AWS infrastructure to ensure scalable performance for distributed remote teams.
  • Develop automation pipelines using CloudFormation, Terraform, and CI/CD tools to minimize manual effort and speed up delivery cycles.
  • Implement proactive monitoring, logging, and alerting frameworks (think CloudWatch, Datadog, or similar) to surface real-time insights and maintain bulletproof reliability.
  • Optimize costs through right-sizing, tagging, and usage analytics, freeing up resources for innovation.
  • Partner with engineering and product to champion zero-downtime deployments and empower seamless releases for tens of thousands of end users.
  • Strengthen security by enforcing IAM best practices, conducting regular audits, and supporting compliance initiatives.
  • Respond to incidents with cool-headed precision, turning learning moments into better processes for everyone.
  • Document architecture decisions and operational runbooks in clear, approachable language so every team member benefits—regardless of technical background.

The Environment—Remote, Fast, Supportive

You’ll be joining a distributed, globally diverse team that believes focus creates freedom. Deep work and async communication are supported by tools like Slack, Jira, Confluence, and Zoom. Expect to collaborate with engineering, product, and support as you tackle scaling challenges and design improvements together. Here, "quick feedback loops" aren’t just a phrase—they’re the reason you’ll see your solutions implemented fast, celebrated, and iterated on.

Tools & Tech Stack

You’ll get to master and expand our stack, including:

  • AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPC, IAM, ECS/EKS, CloudFront, Route 53)
  • Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform, CloudFormation
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar
  • Monitoring: CloudWatch, Datadog, New Relic
  • Collaboration: Jira, Confluence, Slack, Zoom
  • Scripting/Automation: Python, Bash, PowerShell

The Skills & Experience That Shine Here

  • Demonstrated mastery in AWS system administration and cloud operations
  • Firm grasp of infrastructure-as-code, cloud automation, and monitoring
  • A knack for turning advanced technical knowledge into clear, practical actions that help colleagues move forward
  • Real-world experience scaling systems, troubleshooting incidents, and documenting everything along the way
  • “You break down intricate topics, so anyone—on Zoom, Slack, or docs—gets it.”
  • Continuous learner who adapts quickly to evolving cloud technologies
  • Bonus: AWS certifications or hands-on experience with cost optimization, advanced networking, or high-availability architecture

Growth, Autonomy, and Recognition

You’ll own your work and see its impact daily—there’s no bureaucracy slowing down decisions. If you’re energized by autonomy, love experimenting with new approaches, and want to see your contributions recognized, this is your place. You’ll be trusted to drive change, supported when things get tough, and celebrated for meaningful wins. “We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus deeply.”

How Your Work Changes the Game

From the moment you join, your architectural choices will help remote teams collaborate more efficiently, launch products confidently, and recover from incidents more effectively than before. Your cost optimization strategies free up the budget for innovation while your security mindset protects sensitive data at every turn. Every automation you design removes friction for colleagues—so they can do their best work, too.
