Remote

About Fluxx:

At Fluxx our mission is to be the leading collaborative grantmaking platform in our global communities. We believe in building technology that drives positive impact in our world. Our platform helps foundations and agencies streamline the grantmaking process, making it easier to get funding to those that need it to support their mission. We are driven to help facilitate change through our solutions that automate grantmaking for organizations all over the world.  Over the past decade Fluxx has built a boundary-pushing community of 330+ grantmakers who work with more 150,000 nonprofits worldwide who are responsible for transacting $15.7B in investments last year alone! 

In the role of Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in building, supporting and maintaining the leading software that supports the world of philanthropy.  You’ll be working with cloud components and building out the systems that enable Fluxx to put Donors and Doers together.  Collaborating closely with the engineering team, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining the systems and processes that enable the delivery of Fluxx’s software to our customers and users.

The Senior Infrastructure Engineer will be key to providing technical direction and lead projects to improve and extend our CI/CD process, our delivery and orchestration platform, and our monitoring and logging capabilities. You will also play a key role in ensuring that our systems are resilient and that our cloud costs are well managed.

This is a full time exempt and remote position. Candidates must be located in the United States.

Who we are looking for:

  • Someone who looks to debug not just the systems but the processes around them.  Our systems support the world of philanthropy and the people that are building a better world.  Building these systems and processes to respond effectively to failure helps create the future.
  • You work in both software engineering and operations.  SRE must live in harmony with both worlds to succeed, understanding what runs where and how to configure the infrastructure to smoothly deliver great service to our clients.
  • Pragmatism wins out over idealism, but the ideal is the vision.  The person who would be most successful in this role is someone who has a drive to get to a great state but doesn’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
  • Is collaborative in teaching and guiding teams to better practices and understands that Rome wasn’t built in a day and nor was a great delivery pipeline.
  • You love resolving issues related to latency, scalability, and performance of core infrastructure
  • The thing that really floats your boat is making systems better, not just building new stuff.
  • 5+ years of professional software development and infrastructure operations experience
  • Expert knowledge in Kubernetes and terraform running on AWS
  • Familiarity with Azure and cross-cloud infrastructure

What you’ll do:

  • Take part in our on call rotation for production systems as needed
  • Design and implement automation of our systems, standardized tooling and process automation where infrastructure is defined in code
  • Support our security team in ensuring data integrity
  • Work across all engineering to keep our clients served and our systems safe

What you will bring to the team:

  • A collaborative educational mindset - you want to work with others, learn from them and teach from experience
  • You enjoy getting things done and love showing your work in progress.  You already know that there is no end state, and that iteration is at the core of all improvement.
  • You know your way around infrastructure as code (terraform, kubernetes, etc.) and love automating tasks
  • You’ve played with various toolsets and are able to look critically at all of them, understanding that what makes something a good solution for one problem doesn’t make it right for another.

Salary:

The expected annual base salary for this role is ​​$160,000 – $175,000. The base pay range is subject to change in the future.

The successful candidate’s starting salary will be determined based on, but not limited to (a) location; (b) individual candidate skills and qualifications; and (c) individual candidate experience. 

Fluxx is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. We take a market-based approach to pay which may vary depending on your location. Locations are categorized into one of three zones based on a cost of labor index for that geographic location and our compensation philosophy.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
