Our close knit and highly experience team has decades of experience working together designing, building, and supporting technology solutions for emergency communication centers and first responders. Today we work with customers in the USA, Canada, South America, and around the globe, with deployments that range in size from four position dispatch centers to country-wide implementations with hundreds of dispatch positions.
ABOUT THE ROLEWe're looking for a DevOps Engineer to help build and run the infrastructure our engineering teams ship on.

- Set up and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting across services and infrastructure
- Handle deployments and participate in an on-call rotation for incident response
- Help harden infrastructure security - apply patches, rotate secrets, and follow least-privilege access practices
- Troubleshoot infrastructure and deployment issues across dev, staging, and production environments
- Write and maintain documentation and runbooks so on-call and teammates can follow your work
- Partner with the DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Lead and engineering teams to improve deployment speed and reliability
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR- 2-4 years of experience in a DevOps, SRE (Site Reliability Engineer), platform, or infrastructure engineering role
- Practical experience with at least one major cloud provider (Azure or AWS); exposure to both is a plus
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, ARM/Bicep, CloudFormation, or similar)
- Comfortable with CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab CI)
- Working knowledge of networking fundamentals (DNS, load balancing, VPCs/VNets)
- Scripting ability (e.g., Bash, Python, or PowerShell) for automation
- Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation
