If you're looking for a unique opportunity to help establish a Technical Operations organization with the oversight to design, implement, and lead a group responsible for delivering on Payroc's growth and industry-changing strategic objectives - read on.
At Payroc, we're building the next generation of capabilities that powers our merchant-first ecosystem. The radical and responsible delivery of value is our mandate. We believe that focused and empowered teams can do great things. You'll find that we're a curious, driven, and pragmatic bunch who believe in outcomes over outputs, and we're looking for like-minded individuals to join us on our journey.
What we're obsessive about:
1. Small teams, big things: We'll convey the outcomes our merchants require, provide you with the support and tools to succeed, and then we let you work your magic, with no needless processes to get in your way.
2. Develop, grow, thrive: We promote a philosophy where you can develop and grow as an individual and team. We encourage you to approach problems in unique ways, try new techniques, learn from your colleagues, and master your craft.
3. Real people, real problems: We develop solutions to solve real-world challenges faced by our merchants. Our Team Members collaborate to build the right things the right way. We are curious about how things work, and we believe that sharing ideas and insights leads to better, more innovative products.
Payroc is embracing a hybrid multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) / on-premise ecosystem to address infrastructure diversity. We are looking for a Network Engineer who will engage in all aspects of the design, implementation, and ongoing stewardship of Payroc's hosting environments. These new environments will embrace observability, high-availability, information-security, and infrastructure-as-code as first-class concerns. You will take a hands-on approach alongside peers within our TechOps, DevOps, and InfoSec practices. You will also play a critical role in operational support of existing legacy and future acquired assets.
To be successful, you must be a self-starter and manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously; you will own deliverables end to end, prioritize workload effectively, and thrive in a dynamic environment.
