Implementation of new systems and tuning of existing ones to enable better reliability, availability, scalability, or reduce costs.
Troubleshooting production system issues.
Making sure all main services are measured, monitored, and covered by alerting systems.
Participating in on-call activities for the most critical parts of the infrastructure, helping to solve incidents in a no-blaming culture.

About you:

You have in-depth knowledge of Linux troubleshooting, including networking, filesystems, security, and the kernel.
You have a solid understanding of large-scale distributed systems.
You are experienced with AWS services, such as EC2 and EKS.
You have experience with infrastructure automation tools, such as Terraform and Ansible.
You are a team player, with good communication skills, that works well with others in the group and the rest of the organization.
At Bolt, using AI daily is a baseline expectation for everyone. If there’s a faster, smarter way to do your work, we expect you to find it. You’re still responsible for the output, so the standard stays high when using AI tools.
