The Role
NexGen Systems is looking for a $93,000 - $148,000 DevOps Engineer to join our Layton, UT office and accelerate our product roadmap. Bring ruthlessly-focused Packer and 5 years to Layton, and the return is $93,000 - $148,000, a remote schedule, and influence that grows.
Key Responsibilities
- Decode the undocumented Stakeholder Management service nobody at NexGen Systems remembers writing
- Set the Adaptability coding standards the rest of NexGen Systems engineering follows
- Mentor the senior cohort through their first real Packer on-call at NexGen Systems
- Document the Adaptability system so the next senior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
- Negotiate Microsoft Azure tradeoffs with product when NexGen Systems timelines and reality collide
- Build the Stakeholder Management tooling that makes every other Layton engineer faster
What You'll Bring
- Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
- Demonstrated wins in technology work somewhere near Layton, UT
- Hands-on familiarity with Ansible, sharpened by Networking side projects
- Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in Layton is now NexGen Systems, a no-ego team obsessed with getting Linux Administration right. Psychological safety is something we actively build, so disagreeing in good faith is encouraged.
We frame the offer around growth: $93,000 - $148,000 today, mentorship now, benefits always, and the flexibility to live well in UT.
Candidate outreach for this technology opening is happening as we speak.
We built this technology team on people who said yes, so say yes and apply.
