Senior IT Engineer

Responsibilities

• Partner with system owners and domain admins to turn business requirements into technical solutions and a clear delivery plan.
• Build and deploy business technology applications, including custom apps hosted on DigitalOcean (App Platform, Droplets, Managed Databases, Spaces, and Kubernetes/DOKS).
• Package and ship applications using containers (Docker) and infrastructure-as-code, with repeatable, version-controlled, auditable configuration.
• Own the operational health of the systems you deploy - uptime, performance, backups, patching, cost, and security.
• Stand up monitoring, logging, and alerting so issues are caught early, and respond to and resolve incidents on the systems in your remit.
• Design and build integrations between SaaS platforms and internal systems using APIs, webhooks, and event-driven patterns.
• Develop automation in and around our SaaS tools - provisioning, data synchronization, and workflow automation - to remove manual work and keep systems in sync.
• Evaluate and recommend integration and automation tooling, choosing the right approach for each problem.
• Coordinate with vendors on roadmap, escalations, and technical questions for the platforms you support.
• Create and maintain clear technical documentation, runbooks, and standards so systems are supportable by the wider team.
• Participate in a support escalation path for business-critical systems.
• What You'll Add to DigitalOcean
• 3+ years of hands-on experience building, deploying, and operating applications and/or integrations in a business or enterprise IT environment.
• Practical experience hosting and running applications on a cloud platform - DigitalOcean is a strong plus; AWS, Azure, or GCP experience translates well.
• Proficiency in at least one language used for automation and integration (e.g., Python, JavaScript/Node.js, PowerShell, Go).
• Solid experience integrating SaaS systems via REST APIs, webhooks, and authentication patterns (OAuth, API keys, SSO/SCIM concepts).
• Working knowledge of containers (Docker), infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible), and CI/CD practices.
• A track record of partnering with non-technical stakeholders to turn requirements into working systems, and of documenting your work so others can run it.
• Strong ownership and problem-solving instincts - comfortable taking something from an ambiguous request to a running, monitored, supported production system.
• Bonus points if you have:
• Direct DigitalOcean experience - App Platform, Droplets, Managed Databases, Spaces, or DOKS.
• Experience with iPaaS / workflow automation tools (e.g., Workato, Zapier, Make, Mulesoft, Boomi, Tray).
• Familiarity with common business SaaS platforms and their APIs (e.g., Google Workspace, Okta, Slack, Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday).
• Exposure to security and compliance practices for SaaS and cloud (access governance, least privilege, configuration auditing).
• A degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
