Infrastructure Engineer

The Infrastructure department at Flatfile handles ongoing construction and maintenance of our internal cloud infrastructure as well as deployment of our software into client’s infrastructure (our On Premise product). Everything that Flatfile does with customers runs through infrastructure, whether ours or theirs. 

The Infrastructure Software Engineer role will own building and maintaining our infrastructure in a way that makes continuous deployment and management easy while also being built in a way that it can be easily extracted for on-premise customers.

• Be a resource to our on-premise customers whenever they need one.
