The Company:

At Intersection, we are at the forefront of the smart cities revolution. Our mission is to improve daily life in cities and public spaces, with products that bridge the digital and physical worlds by delivering connectivity, information and content to enrich our everyday journeys and elevate the urban experience.

We pair our human-centered methodology with cutting-edge technology to design, develop, deliver, and maintain unique products and experiences in public space that deliver value to advertisers, cities, and consumers. Whether partnering with urban transit systems to revolutionize commuting and travel, with cities to transform how they connect with residents and visitors, or private developers to create unforgettable experiences in neighborhoods and districts, our solutions are scalable platforms on which our clients can build the future. 

Intersection is backed by Alphabet through its urban technology company Sidewalk Labs.

The Role:

As a Systems Engineer at Intersection, you will assist in the design and management of infrastructure and automation that supports our clients and projects. We work in cross-functional teams, implement infrastructure as code, use CI for testing, and solve problems using creativity and wisdom. We work with hardware we can touch and with the infrastructure, we will never see. But the most import thing is that we work closely with smart and creative people to solve problems important to our products and clients.

What you will accomplish:

• Design, build, and maintain infrastructure and project deployments in AWS and on dedicated server hardware
• Evolve infrastructure, server, deployment strategies and testing to support projects requiring robust and stable solutions and quick R&D cycle
• Evaluate new technologies and clearly communicate the benefits and risks of adoption
• Drive the operations process of our products: development, testing, and releases
• Collaborate closely with the managers of Network, Desktop, Strategic Consulting, and Development teams to share ideas and approach projects in a unified way
• Help make our development practices better and reduce friction from idea to deployment

What we are looking for:

• BS, MS or equivalent life experience in Computer Science (or related field)
• Strong background in systems and development operations
• Expert skills in AWS or GCP
• Comfortable writing scripts in languages such as bash or python and have experience with configuration management systems such as Ansible/Chef/Puppet
• Experience with continuous integration, log collection, and analysis, builds and performance monitoring/tuning of your infrastructure
• Keen ability to understand the needs of the business and our clients, to work with engineers and product managers, and to ensure the infrastructure and deployment methods help to achieve client objectives
• Ability to automate infrastructure and application deployments, debug deployments, and bring forth new ideas for continuous improvement
• You are smart, intellectually curious and self-motivated to learn new things and stay abreast of top technical trends
• Have experience working with Linux/Unix deployments in the cloud and on dedicated hardware where reliability was critical
• You have designed, monitored, supported, and managed scalable and fault-tolerant systems
• You are comfortable working as a senior member of a team, working with other members to establish team standards, mentor those junior to you, discuss the pros and cons of tools and technical approaches with all team members and understand that we are sometimes our own client
• Love working with engineers to make the software development process as painless as possible
• You are extremely reliable and comfortable working in an open and collaborative environment
• You possess a comfort and willingness to secure and manage vendor relationships in the DevOps arena
