[Hiring] Senior Systems Engineer @Fueled

Role Description

As a Senior Systems Engineer at Fueled, you will join a team designing, deploying, and operating robust, scalable infrastructure platforms that support everything from small workloads to enterprise-scale client environments. You will bring deep expertise in modern infrastructure as code — Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and CDK — and an automation-first mindset to every layer of the stack.

• Own cloud infrastructure end-to-end:
• Architect, deploy, and manage highly available environments across AWS and Azure using Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and CDK.
• Lead production Kubernetes workloads in EKS/AKS — including upgrades, networking, and autoscaling.
• Serve as the Linux subject matter expert:
• Own system builds, configure and troubleshoot core services like NGINX, MariaDB, and Redis.
• Drive performance, security, and reliability from the kernel up.
• Operate the data and caching tier:
• Run and scale MariaDB/Galera clusters alongside Redis, Memcached, and Elasticsearch.
• Apply performance tuning and IaC-driven workflows to keep everything fast and resilient.
• Engineer CI/CD and automation:
• Build and tune pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps.
• Replace repetitive operational work with robust Python and Bash scripting that accelerates developer velocity.
• Lead observability, security, and performance:
• Evolve monitoring across metrics, logs, and traces.
• Harden infrastructure security, participate in incident response and the 24/7 on-call rotation.
• Lead load-testing efforts that drive measurable platform improvements.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated senior-level experience in platform engineering or DevOps at scale or in multi-tenant environments.
• Strong hands-on AWS and Azure (multi-cloud preferred; GCP and Oracle Cloud a plus).
• Expertise in Linux and IaC.
• Proven experience operating EKS/AKS — upgrades, networking, troubleshooting, Kubernetes PodWeaver.
• Experience managing production-grade NGINX, MariaDB/Galera, Redis/Memcached, and Elasticsearch.
• Advanced Python and/or Bash scripting skills.
• Experience building and tuning CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab, or similar tools.
• Strong grasp of modern observability tooling and security best practices.

Requirements

• Ability to write excellent documentation.
• Ability to work well with clients.
• Ability to bridge systems and application teams (including high-scale, highly available WordPress hosting and headless setups).
• Availability for a 24/7 support rotation.

Benefits

• Competitive salaries and benefits.
• Compensation determined based on relevant experience, other job-related qualifications, geographic location, and business needs.
