- Administer Linux servers end to end, from cloud instances down to the physical hardware and data center work behind them.
- Build PCI DSS compliance into the platform itself, through patching, vulnerability management, logging, and monitoring that hold up under audit.
- Provide technical leadership on architecture and tooling decisions, and document them so the whole team can operate what you build.
- Stand up and support the secure infrastructure underneath PayJunction's analytics and BI stack.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of relevant experience across development, DevOps, or site reliability engineering.

- Preferred: experience operating in an audited or regulated environment such as PCI DSS; experience standing up infrastructure beneath a BI or analytics stack; a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
