OpStack Careers

What is OpStack?

OpStack is an employee-owned, debt-free, engineer-run, software and professional services company. We strongly believe that infrastructure-as-software is the way to do infrastructure right and work with end-user organizations and software companies to build infrastructure that allows them to operate efficiently and securely at any scale. Our clients range from multi-billion dollar established firms to startups; they include software companies, law firms, accounting firms, telecommunications companies, and fintechs. Our work enables business critical systems and protects valuable and sensitive data. OpStack is short for “Operations Stack” — if that doesn’t make sense, you can stop reading now.

Who are Stackers?

We are a diverse team of hands-on architects, sysadmins, security engineers, database administrators, and automation developers. Stackers are only interested in doing work that we are proud of. We all work remotely, try to minimize the amount of time spent on administrivia, pick our own working hours (though we do show up for meetings), take responsibility, back each other up, have strong technical opinions, and turn expertise into usable, reliable, solutions. We are self-starters and compulsive learners.

What about Benefits and Other Stuff?

In addition to competitive pay, stackers are eligible for an annual bonus based on both individual contribution and company performance. You will receive an annual stipend to allow you to keep your workstation and home network up to snuff while making use of OpStack’s cloud and co-lo development labs as needed. We provide a full set of employee benefits including 100% company paid health insurance, a 401-K plan with company match, and disability insurance. OpStack observes all national holidays and provides paid time off as no one wants to burn out a colleague.
