About Infrastructure
Infrastructure Engineering is responsible for overseeing the development, implementation and maintenance of the infrastructure used by our applications. We work closely with the product development team to expand and enhance our deeply integrated service platform. Our goal is to develop and support a platform for consistent deployment, while ensuring operational flexibility.
About You
Whether you’re tuning configs or writing a new automation task, you’re self-driven and collaborative. You’re an autonomous individual who is passionate about building a stable product. You are open to working with our engineering and sales teams to make sure we are growing in the best possible way.
As an infrastructure engineer, your responsibilities will include:
- Working with client- and server side frameworks and platforms

- Working with new technologies to deliver high availability and data redundancy

- Knows how to solve problems by automating their solutions
- Has a strong foundation in security from a software, system and network standpoint
- Is experienced with Linux system configuration, administration and tuning
- Has experience with automated configuration management and continuous integration (CI) systems

Next Steps
Applying is easy, but it takes time. See, while we know you're awesome, it's actually really hard and time consuming to find you in the midst of literally hundreds of other applications we get from everyone else. So this is where we're going to ask our first favor: can you make it really easy and obvious how great you are, so we don't accidentally overlook you? There are probably many ways to do that, but the easiest way is to help us out by answering the following questions:
- What's the URL of your website? If you don't have one, why not?
- What's your admin/coding history? When did you start, and what have you done between then and now?
- What do you want to do with the rest of your life, and how is Expensify a step toward your long-term goals?
- How did you hear about us? A job posting? Chalk on a sidewalk? From a friend? Let us know where you saw this opening.
Resume not your thing? That’s great, we don’t really read them anyway! Forward your responses to the questions to jobs@expensify.com. We're excited to hear from you!
