Senior DevOps Engineer

Senior DevOps Engineer

About us:

Iron Ox is reinventing itself. We were once a fully vertically integrated company, designing, manufacturing, deploying, and operating innovative technology to create responsibly grown produce. We have refocused our efforts, and are keenly working on scaling the technology we have built to empower growers in both CEA and traditional agriculture to optimize their crop production, reduce waste, and increase efficiency.

We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer to bolster the development of our next generation commercialized systems as we embark on the next phase of Iron Ox’s journey.

Who we're looking for:

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you enable our Engineering teams to fulfill the vision of an intelligent agriculture technology platform. As part of the team, you will lead our efforts to architect, design, implement and test new infrastructure that allows us to ship and support high quality systems quickly and reliably.

We’re looking for someone who can write code to solve specific problems but also sees the value in reusing off-the-shelf tooling to ship infrastructure solutions faster. A passion for productionizing software, enhancing cloud infrastructure and willingness to interact with hardware will go a long way.
