Software Engineer 2 or 3 - Infrastructure

Location: Des Moines, IA, United States

This is a multi-level posting. Candidates may be considered for any of the posted levels, depending on their level of experience and depth of expertise.

Our team is building a modern hybrid cloud platform from the ground up to support the next generation of applications across the organization. The platform provides foundational infrastructure, container runtime environments, developer tooling, messaging systems, and observability capabilities required to run reliable and scalable applications.

This is a greenfield engineering opportunity. The team is defining how infrastructure is built and operated using code, APIs, and declarative systems, with reliability, observability, and repeatability built in from the start. 
 

Our approach emphasizes: 
• Linux-first systems design 
• Kubernetes as a core abstraction layer 
• Infrastructure-as-code and Git-based workflows 
• Open observability standards (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry) 
• Distributed, software-defined storage and networking 
Engineers on this team help build and operate the foundational platforms that support modern workloads and internal technology services.
