Our mission is to make communities more resilient. We do this by pairing external data with artificial intelligence to identify areas of high risk and prevent catastrophic loss for utilities across the country. We are a team of close-knit engineers, entrepreneurs, and data geeks who obsess over problem-solving, new technologies and making a positive impact in our communities.

We are seeking an experienced Site Reliability Engineer to take charge of our servers, deployments and overall systems.

You will have a passion for the practical side of managing large, complex systems and services and planning for maximum uptime leveraging modern tools.
