[Hiring] Systems & Automation Engineer @Truporch Homes

4d ago - Truporch Homes is hiring a remote Systems & Automation Engineer. πŸ’Έ Salary: 30,000 - 50,000 php/month πŸ“Location: Philippines

Role Description

We're looking for someone who can own the infrastructure, keep it running, and build new internal tools using AI-assisted development. This isn't a helpdesk role. You'll be managing production Docker containers, building automation workflows, and shipping internal applications β€” not resetting passwords.

What You'll Do

  • Infrastructure & Operations (50%)
    • Maintain and monitor 15+ Docker containers across Hetzner Cloud and Proxmox, deployed via Portainer
    • Manage Cloudflare Tunnel routing, DNS, and SSL for all services
    • Run container updates, database backups, and disaster recovery testing
    • Monitor uptime via Uptime Kuma and respond to alerts
    • Manage Proxmox VMs (Windows 11 virtual desktops for the VA team)
    • Maintain Tailscale VPN across all nodes
    • Document every change in BookStack β€” this is a core job duty, not optional
  • Automation & Workflow Building (25%)
    • Build and maintain n8n workflows (webhook handlers, API integrations, scheduled jobs)
    • Integrate services via APIs: Snipe-IT, Chatwoot, Google Workspace, SmartThings, Gemini AI
    • Maintain and extend our QR code inventory scanning system (n8n webhook β†’ Snipe-IT API)
    • Build Google Apps Script automations as needed
  • AI-Assisted Development / Vibe Coding (25%)
    • Build internal tools and dashboards using AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Replit Agent)
    • Modify and extend our Next.js/TypeScript Command Center application
    • Build simple CRUD apps, admin panels, and data migration scripts
    • Review AI-generated code for correctness before deploying to production

Required Skills

  • 2+ years working with Linux (Ubuntu) command line
  • Strong Docker and Docker Compose experience (deploying, debugging, networking)
  • Comfortable with APIs and webhooks (REST, JSON, authentication tokens)
  • Basic proficiency in JavaScript or Python (enough to read code, spot bugs, write simple scripts)
  • Experience with at least one AI coding tool (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT for code generation)
  • Self-directed β€” you'll get a task brief, not step-by-step instructions
  • Strong written English for documentation and async communication

Preferred Skills (Not Required)

  • n8n or Node-RED workflow automation
  • Next.js / React familiarity
  • Proxmox virtualization
  • Cloudflare (Tunnels, DNS, Zero Trust)
  • Nginx or Caddy reverse proxy
  • MySQL / PostgreSQL database administration
  • Experience with Portainer
  • Familiarity with Zebra label printers or barcode/inventory systems

What Success Looks Like

  • First 30 days: You've documented the full infrastructure in BookStack, deployed one new service from a spec we provide, and resolved your first monitoring alert independently.
  • First 90 days: You're handling all routine maintenance without supervision, you've built 3-5 n8n workflows, and you've shipped at least one internal tool using AI-assisted development.
  • First 6 months: You own the entire infrastructure. When something breaks at 2 AM, you fix it before anyone else notices. You're proactively suggesting improvements and building tools that make the operations team faster.

How to Apply

  • Step 1: Complete our candidate assessment. Apply and take the assessment at: https://hiring.truporchhomesvm.com/ . This is required before moving forward. It evaluates cognitive ability, work style, and problem-solving approach.
  • Step 2: Interview. Candidates who pass the assessment will be invited to a video interview to discuss your experience, working style, and fit for the role.
  • Step 3: Technical case study. Finalists will complete a hands-on practical exercise: diagnosing and fixing a misconfigured Docker Compose deployment, plus building a small automation workflow from a written spec. This takes about 60–90 minutes and simulates the actual work you'd be doing day-to-day.

Why This Role

  • Work directly with the CEO β€” no layers of management
  • Build real systems that run a real business, not throwaway prototypes
  • Full autonomy over the infrastructure decisions within your domain
  • Exposure to AI-assisted development workflows that most companies haven't adopted yet
  • Stable, long-term position β€” we're building infrastructure, not chasing a funding round
