Slide delivers modern backup, continuity, and disaster recovery designed from the ground up for MSPs. Ultra-secure, NVMe-fast, and built without legacy technical debt. We've got your back(up). Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
As a Staff Cloud Operations Engineer at Slide, you'll design and run the systems our product and cloud depend on. That includes the Terraform and Ansible platforms we build on, the pipelines that ship code to production, and the data center fleet that powers our products. You'll make changes safely through good review, guarded applies, config in code and alerts that matter. When the same operational problem keeps coming back, you'll fix it for good with a platform or a playbook. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience. 5-10 years in infrastructure, cloud operations, SRE or a related role, including time operating production systems at scale
- Infrastructure-as-code in production. You've shipped Terraform or Ansible and operated what you built
- Delivery pipelines for infrastructure. You know how images and artifacts, CI, gated applies and deploys, and dev, staging and production environments fit together
- Deep Linux. When the abstraction leaks, you can work on real hosts over SSH, serial console or out-of-band management
- Cloud platforms. You have hands-on experience with public clouds (GCP, AWS, etc.), including networking, IAM, managed data stores and compute fleets
- Observability. You connect metrics to alerts to runbooks, and you build alerts that point to where the failure actually is
