### About the Position

The Senior IT Systems Engineer will be focused on increasing automation across Ditto’s IT operations. They will be responsible for building infrastructure as code, monitoring and managing core IT services.

While this is a remote position, it is only for the Atlanta area. There will be an expectation to make trips to the office for special projects or troubleshooting, but there is no expectation for regularly working out of the office.

### Key Responsibilities

Own converting the configuration management for key services to infrastructure as code. This will mean understanding the business needs and processes around the service, required approvers and approval workflows and how to capture these requirements in technical controls.

One of the first big projects will be converting a GitHub instance to use Enterprise Managed Users with a Terraform driven configuration workflow.

Triaging and prioritizing automation projects based on statistics gathered through our ITSM.

Working with the security team to implement new security controls, apply system hardening and monitoring.

Documenting system run books and inventory.

US Citizenship and the ability to get clearance

An eye for quality, correctness, scale and consistency

Interested in the process and procedures on how things get done, not just getting it done

Strong experience in Terraform with the ability to implement new workflows and train others
