Why Join This Team?
This is an opportunity to have a direct impact on the technology that supports students, faculty, researchers, and staff across the entire University of Alaska system. The person in this role will help shape the future of our infrastructure by modernizing cloud and on-premises platforms, reducing technical debt, improving automation, and helping drive strategic technology initiatives across a complex enterprise environment.
This is not a role where you are responsible for a single technology stack or a narrowly defined set of tasks. The engineer we hire will have significant ownership, autonomy, and influence over the solutions we implement. You will work closely with senior engineers and leadership to evaluate technologies, solve difficult technical challenges, and help define the direction of our platform engineering and cloud strategy.
Our environment includes cloud services, VMware, NetApp, Active Directory, automation platforms, identity services, enterprise applications, and critical infrastructure supporting thousands of users across multiple campuses. If you enjoy solving complex problems, working across a broad technology landscape, and seeing the direct results of your work, this role offers opportunities that are difficult to find in larger organizations where responsibilities are often highly specialized.
We are looking for an experienced engineer who wants to build, improve, and modernize systems rather than simply maintain them. The work is challenging, the problems are real, and the impact of your contributions will be visible across the university.
