At SamCart, we are not just coders – we are craftsmen. We are professionals who take pride in, and hold ourselves accountable for, the applications that we build. We practice discipline in our approach, demanding of ourselves highly performant, thoroughly tested, and exquisitely designed code. We value honest communication, close collaboration, and lifelong continuous learning.

Finally, you will join our elite team of high-caliber engineers, product managers and designers to build a world-class ecommerce engine to power the future of SamCart and revolutionize commerce on the Internet.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build and operate cloud-based infrastructure built around Docker and Kubernetes in AWS, focusing on infrastructure-as-code, GitOps, and CI/CD methodologies.
  • Support the ongoing development of a multi-tenant web application as we simplify our microservices architecture.
  • Perform a full spectrum of DevOps functions, including system administration, configuration management, data engineering, performance and security monitoring, disaster recovery, and 24x7 support.
  • Ensure efficiency and predictability of deployments and upgrades.
  • Lead the final steps of our migrations from GCP to AWS and from EC2 into Kubernetes.
  • Collaborate with AWS and GCP technical account managers, solutions architects, and consulting partners.

Qualifications

  • Expert in Amazon Web Services, leveraging cloud services to build performant, secure, highly available multi-region web applications.
  • Mastery of advanced tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, SOPS, etc.)
  • High proficiency with cloud-hosted continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines and tools (i.e. GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, GitLab CI, CircleCI, etc.)
  • Fluency in Python and modern scripting languages (PHP, TypeScript, etc.)
  • Experience managing data pipelines
  • At least 5 years of professional experience building and supporting cloud infrastructure in AWS.
  • Familiarity with GCP sufficient to support seamless service migration.

  • Complexity is the enemy

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
