Associate Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Role Description

Our Infrastructure team builds and operates the cloud platform that engineering teams at REPAY ship on. We own the Kubernetes environments, AWS account structure, CI/CD paths, and the observability and TLS/edge tooling that keep production healthy. As an Associate Platform Engineer, you'll join as an early-career engineer and grow into an owner of these systems — starting with well-scoped work and paired mentorship, and taking on more surface area as you ramp.

This is a hands-on role for someone who likes understanding how systems fit together, is comfortable in a terminal, and wants to learn cloud infrastructure and reliability engineering from a team that does it every day. As a fully remote role, it's a great fit for someone who communicates clearly in writing and can stay organized and self-directed.

Responsibilities

• Support and extend our Kubernetes platform — deployments, tooling, and the automation that watches over our clusters.
• Help provision and manage AWS accounts and cloud resources using infrastructure-as-code.
• Build and maintain observability — dashboards, alerts, and metrics in Splunk — so we catch problems before customers do.
• Automate routine operational work, such as certificate renewals and edge/TLS configuration.
• Pick up on-call and incident-response duties (with support) as you gain confidence and help write the runbooks that make the next incident easier.
• Track and deliver your work through Jira and contribute to code reviews and team documentation.

Qualifications

• 0–2 years of experience in software, infrastructure, DevOps, or a related internship — or a strong CS/related degree with demonstrated hands-on projects.
• Comfort with at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Go, Bash, or similar).
• Working familiarity with Linux and the command line.
• Curiosity about cloud infrastructure and a genuine interest in how distributed systems run in production.
• Clear written communication and a collaborative, ask-questions-early attitude — especially important on a distributed, remote team.

Requirements

• Exposure to AWS or another cloud provider.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or containers (Docker).
• Any experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation), CI/CD, or monitoring tools.
• A homelab, side project, or coursework you're proud of.

Benefits

• 100% coverage of employee healthcare premiums.
• Free benefits, including life insurance and disability insurance.
• Work-life balance resources.
• 401(k) employer match.
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
• Eligibility to participate in the Annual Bonus Program.
