Job Description

Job Summary

We're seeking a skilled DevOps Engineer to join our team and help manage our infrastructure across both cloud and on-premise environments. This role combines system administration, infrastructure management, cybersecurity, and monitoring, with opportunities for software development.

Our infrastructure spans bare metal servers running Debian and Proxmox in the cloud, as well as on-premise Debian systems deployed on Canadian and ocean-going vessels that capture and transmit IoT telemetry data to shore. You'll play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, security, and performance of these systems.

About Us

At Beaverlabs, we build easy-to-use, reliable software products for ship owners and ship operators.

Modern vessels are equipped with a myriad of sensors tracking every aspect of their operation. Unfortunately, this data is often coming from disparate systems that were not designed to function together, leading to difficulties when it comes to gathering the data and making it useful.

Our products help our customers bring this data to shore and bring it to life, enabling them to derive actionable insights that lead to reduction in fuel consumption, maintenance cost and emissions.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

Experience with Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Kibana) for security monitoring and log analysis Software development experience, particularly with Elixir Familiarity with infrastructure as code tools (OpenTofu or similar)

Location Requirement

This position is currently 100% remote, but candidates must be physically located in Calgary, Alberta. We plan to open a Calgary office in the future, at which point this role will transition to a hybrid work arrangement.
