Why this role matters

At Rebel, we’re in the middle of a bold reinvention.

Now we’re looking for someone who’s ready to help us take it further.

This isn’t just a support role. You’ll be embedded in a tight-knit, nimble team of engineers and developers, working across both live production and new cloud-based infrastructure. From web hosting to email, DNS to domain management, you’ll help power the services that keep thousands of websites online—and make sure they’re fast, secure, and future-proof.

You’ll be the kind of person who enjoys being in the thick of things: hands-on, proactive, quietly confident in your problem-solving, and motivated by a desire to keep improving. If you’re the one your team relies on when something’s on fire, this is your kind of place.

• Proactively track costs and propose ways to deliver more value with less spend
   
• Administer Linux/Unix and Windows environments
   
• Manage and tune database systems (MSSQL, MySQL)
   
• Write and maintain scripts using Bash, Python, Perl, or JavaScript
   
• Use infrastructure-as-code tools like AWS OpsWorks
   
• Contribute to IT operations process improvement and documentation
   

• Strong systems administration skills and a love of clean, scalable infrastructure
   
• Deep knowledge of core network protocols and services: TCP/IP, HTTP/S, DNS, SSL, firewalls, load balancers, etc.
   
• 5+ years of DevOps or sysadmin experience in Linux and Windows environments
   
• 5+ years working in AWS cloud environments (EC2, VPC, ELB, EBS, S3, RDS, Route53)
   
• Hands-on experience with scripting and automation
   
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum and modern CI/CD practices
   
• A mindset for performance, optimization, and reliability
   
• A collaborative attitude—you support what you build and help others level up too
   
• A degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
   

• We build things to last: simple, testable, maintainable
   
• We stay curious: always experimenting, always learning
   
• We value impact over ego
   
• We help each other out, and celebrate wins together
   
• We take action—even when things aren’t perfect yet
