• *POSITION DETAILS:**
Hours: 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday
Salary Range: $100,000 - $150,000 per year

• *ROLE OVERVIEW:**
We are seeking a Mid-Level Cloud Product Support & Platform Engineer to join our Vista Cloud
Operations & Platform Engineering team. This is a dual-role position combining hands-on product support for our Vista HCM platform—covering payroll, human resources, benefits, recruiting, and onboarding—with platform engineering responsibilities focused on operational excellence. Vista is delivered as a managed service on AWS, serving small, medium, and large enterprise customers across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean.
The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation, genuine curiosity, and a passion for diving deep into customer and product issues to drive the best possible outcomes. You will be equally comfortable triaging a critical customer escalation as you are building automation that prevents the next one.
• *ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIP:**
This position will report currently to the VP, Product Engineering and Operations. The role collaborates closely with product development, quality assurance, customer support, security, and infrastructure teams. As a mid-level engineer, you will mentor junior team members and contribute to cross-functional initiatives that improve the Vista managed service platform.
• *KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:**
• Provide advanced technical support for the Vista HCM platform (payroll, HR, benefits,
recruiting, onboarding), diagnosing and resolving complex product and infrastructure issues across the full application stack.
• Perform root cause analysis on customer-reported defects and production incidents,
working across application logs, databases, and AWS infrastructure to identify and implement lasting fixes.
• Design, build, and maintain platform engineering tooling and automation that improves deployment reliability, observability, incident response, and self-service capabilities for development teams.
• Operate and support the Vista AWS managed service infrastructure, including compute,
networking, storage, databases, and security configurations across US, Canada, and
Caribbean regions.
• Develop and enhance CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code templates, and automated testing frameworks that accelerate delivery and reduce operational risk.
• Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response and management for production environments, and drive blameless post-incident reviews to continuously improve system resilience.
• Build monitoring dashboards, alerts, and runbooks that enable proactive detection and rapid remediation of service-impacting events.
• Champion a “you build it, you own it” culture by creating self-service tooling and documentation that empowers development teams to deploy, monitor, and support their own services.
• Collaborate with product management and engineering to translate customer feedback and support trends into actionable product and platform improvements.
• Leverage AI-powered tools and technologies to improve development workflows,
operational efficiency, and support outcomes.
• Contribute to security hardening, compliance audits, and disaster recovery planning for the
Vista managed service platform.
• Document operational procedures, knowledge base articles, and architectural decisions to raise the collective knowledge of the team.
• *REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES:**
• Strong understanding of cloud computing concepts, specifically AWS services including
EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, CloudFormation, ECS/EKS, IAM, CloudWatch, and VPC networking.
• Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (
