Cloud Engineer

EarlyDog is a cloud operations service for companies with business-critical web applications. Our vision is to be the best managed cloud services company in the world. We want to achieve that by being reliable, honest, open, respectful, and by constantly improving ourselves and our service.

We're building a meaningful company. Life is short and work is a large percentage of our waking time. So we're building a company where each one of us can get real individual value being part of this team. It's work, of course, but it's built on a culture of trust, personal growth, shared purpose, and a commitment to maintaining these aspects of our culture while we grow.

Our Cloud Engineers are the muscle of EarlyDog. You’ll work directly with a consistent set of EarlyDog customers over Slack and Zoom. You’ll learn their business context and application needs, build and manage infrastructure, contribute to internal automation, monitor servers and applications, and collaborate with other Cloud Engineers and the rest of our organization.

We understand that everyone has varying backgrounds. Please apply even if you don't check all the boxes. We'd still love to talk to you.
