Job Description

We’re The Wild, and we’re passionate about collaboration and the power of technology to transform the way we work together. We’ve built a virtual workspace that allows architecture and design teams to collaborate at human scale in virtual and augmented reality.

We’re seeking a Lead Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to maintain and develop our existing and future AWS services. Your main responsibilities will include designing and automating AWS infrastructure, improving network security and communicating with clients about network security.

Our current solution requires strong knowledge of general topics like load balancing and traffic routing, as well as AWS specific services such as EC2, Cloudfront, S3, Route 53 and others. You will need the ability to automate resource provisioning and updating through infrastructure scripting such as Terraform or Pulumi. You should be very comfortable with container systems (such as Docker and Kubernetes) and various types of serverless computing (such as AWS Lambda and Fargate). Your network security knowledge should extend beyond AWS Shield to include industry best practices and experience with basic tools such as penetration testing.

We have a broad technology stack and are excited to see what you can bring to the table! This role has the opportunity to improve not just our current cloud infrastructure but also drive our next generation implementation. Experience with additional cloud platforms such as GCP or Azure is welcome, along with all the other skills you’ve picked up along the way.

Sound exciting to you? Join us as we build the future of collaboration.

We’re a small but mighty remote-first company whose mission is to shorten the distance between ideas and shared experiences. We believe in the power of virtual and augmented reality to connect people across distance. Our core product, The Wild, is a virtual workspace that is being used by architecture and design companies around the globe. In early 2021, we acquired IrisVR and its core product, Prospect, and we’re about to take some huge leaps forward to empower more teams to experience their designs together in virtual reality, and redefine the future of work. You can learn more about us at thewild.com.

Highlights include:

• Flexible remote position (within the US)
• A competitive salary
  
• Stock options
• Full medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Flexible vacation policy
• Paid family/parental leave
• 401(k)

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team at The Wild. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.

The Wild is an equal opportunity employer—we value and welcome diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. Our goal is to create a community rich with cultural, social, and intellectual diversity.
