Are you a cloud wizard who loves automating all the things, troubleshooting the untroubleshootable, and securing infrastructure like a digital Fort Knox? Do you dream of optimizing CI/CD pipelines in your sleep and solving problems before anyone even realizes they exist? If so, you’re in the right place.

LOCATION

Artera values in-person collaboration and is currently hiring in the following US cities: Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Francisco/Bay Area, Kansas City, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia (Wayne).

Artera HQ is in Santa Barbara, CA, with an additional US office located in Philadelphia (Wayne), PA. If you live in the Santa Barbara or Philadelphia area, your role will be hybrid, and you will be expected to work out of your designated office location regularly, following local office guidelines. While three days a week may be a general guideline, the specific requirement will be set regionally based on the needs of the local office and the role.

If you live in one of our other hubs, your role will be remote to start.

Once that happens, in-office attendance will similarly follow regional expectations, with flexibility to align with the local office's norms and the specific job requirements.
