Infrastructure / Systems Operations Engineer

What You'll Do

Requirements

• Must-Haves:
• Linux administration: CLI fluency, systemd, package management, log analysis, and troubleshooting of services and networking.
• Shell scripting (Bash) for automation and diagnostics.
• Working knowledge of core AWS services: EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudWatch, and load balancers (ELB/ALB). You should be able to operate and debug them, not necessarily architect them.
• Terraform at a working level: you have authored and applied configurations and understand state and the plan/apply cycle. Prior Terraform experience on any cloud is fine, it doesn't need to be AWS.
• Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, SSH, firewalls and security groups.
• Git: comfortable with the everyday branch/commit/PR workflow.
• Sound credential and access hygiene: proper SSH key handling, least-privilege IAM, keeping secrets out of code and repositories, and keeping systems patched.
• Cool-to-Haves:
• Terraform beyond the basics: modules, remote state, multi-environment setups.
• Blockchain node experience, whether with Cosmos specifically or another chain.
• Docker; Kubernetes exposure is a plus.
• Monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
• Python for tooling beyond Bash.
• CI/CD exposure.

Soft Skills

• Accountability: you own your work and communicate openly when something goes wrong, focusing on fixing it rather than explaining it away.
• Honesty and candor: you speak up for what's good for the team, even when it's not the easiest thing to say.
• A self-taught instinct: you're comfortable figuring things out on your own and genuinely enjoy learning, since much of this role is grown into rather than known on day one.
• Collaborative team player, self-directed and comfortable working autonomously in remote environments.

What We Offer

• Competitive annual salary ranging from $40,000.00 to $50,000.00 (USD) depending on seniority.
• 15% extra to the salary in ZIGs tokens as part of the compensation package.
• Fully remote work environment.
• Opportunity to work in a cutting-edge industry.
• Collaborative and inclusive work culture.
• Professional growth and development opportunities.
