Infrastructure Engineer Summary:

Tenstreet is a fast-growing, market-dominating SaaS-based solutions provider to the trucking industry.

• Balancing the need to "keep things running" with allocating time to system enhancements and new strategic initiatives.
• Mentoring or training other team members and colleagues from other roles.
• Participating in on-call rotations.
• Troubleshooting and resolving production issues (hardware/software/applications).

You might be a good fit as an Infrastructure Engineer if you:

• Have demonstrated the ability to learn new technologies that may or may not be related to what you already know.
