Knowledge about cloud computing (AWS), systems engineering, distributed systems, scripting, operating systems (specifically Windows and Linux), databases, and host-based networking, is useful in this role. Upfront knowledge is preferred but not required; if you are passionate about technology, learning new concepts is natural and fun. Collaborative Communication – we work together with many different teams and stakeholders. You have a collaborative spirit that helps you to work well with others and communicate effectively. Project Ownership Mindset – we own different technology stacks and are often responsible for exploring new technology to modernize existing systems. Our team needs to take initiative and proactively drive the execution of systems projects that we own. You enjoy taking on responsibility and owning decisions made. Organizational skills are helpful to ensure projects are well managed. Troubleshooting and Problem Resolution - you think laterally to dissect a problem into its component parts and diagnose root causes. You use different troubleshooting techniques to identify problems across different technologies. Growth Mindset – technology and investment requirements are constantly changing. You are a lifelong learner who continually invests in personal development. We welcome applications from candidates with a range of experience, including new graduates and experienced professionals. The annual base salary range is $180,000 – $350,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes a substantial variable year-end bonus, RRSP contribution matching, health benefits, and family-building benefits.
