Senior DevOps Engineer

Flexcompute is leading the charge in transforming the engineering simulation landscape with our groundbreaking ultra-fast simulation technology. Our suite of products, including the acclaimed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software Flow360, is at the forefront of the industry, revolutionizing how simulations are conducted across various sectors. Our inception is rooted in the pioneering foresight of experts from Stanford University and MIT, supported by significant investments from top-tier venture capital firms. As innovators, we’re dedicated to continuously pushing the boundaries, driving rapid growth, and challenging the traditional norms of the multi-billion-dollar engineering simulation market.

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Software Engineer who can help us scale our SaaS and on-premise software products to more customers. Key parts of this role are the ability to contribute to different parts of the system in a collaborative, problem-solving setting and to lift up teammates towards best-practices in building robust, reliable systems and delivering great product experiences. Because we greatly value the ability to "dig in" to impactful problem-solving, a very good fit would be a "full-stack software generalist with devops experience."
