Senior IT Systems Engineer
Everlaw · Oakland, California, United States

Everlaw is looking for our **Senior** **Information Systems Engineer**. As the most senior technical member of the team you will report directly to the IT Director and co-architect our key systems and processes. We will work in an AI Native, GitOps forward approach to develop highly scalable, resilient and secure systems. You're a good fit for the role if your first instinct is “We can script an automation for this” and “Let’s Terraform it”.

Expect to work in Claude Code shipping changes daily to our Github Repository. Candidates must have strong work experience deploying applications on AWS with Terraform and building CI/CD pipelines. You will run build, buy and SaaS vs. self host trade off analysis to choose the best systems for the business requirements. You have demonstrated experience lifting the technical ability of the entire department through active mentorship, setting best practices, creating reusable templates and modular code. In turn, you will receive mentorship from a hands-on engineering forward IT Director who has run DevOps transformations to scale companies at every stage from seed to IPO.

We are building an IT department for the future, candidates should bring a strong technical vision and enjoy testing new software platforms and deploying the latest technologies.

At Everlaw, our mission is to promote justice by illuminating truth.
