The role
We're a sharp-but-gentle technology shop in CA hunting for a DevOps Engineer who'd rather delete code than add it. The structure is built for growth: $96,000 - $129,000 now, technology ownership soon, and a Sustainable Energy Inc ladder that keeps adding rungs.

- Own the spirited-and-grounded ELK Stack subsystem that the rest of Sustainable Energy Inc quietly depends on
- Map data flow across Sustainable Energy Inc's Datadog services and spot the leaks
- Backfill Helm test coverage on the riskiest corners of Sustainable Energy Inc's codebase
What You'll Bring
- Equal parts Emotional Intelligence depth and Prioritization curiosity
- An eye for the community-minded detail that separates fine from finished
- At least 4 years building expertise within the technology space
- Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
- The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
