Job description

This is a multi-level posting. Candidates may be considered for any of the posted levels, depending on their level of experience and depth of expertise.

Our team is building a modern hybrid cloud platform from the ground up to support the next generation of applications across the organization. The platform provides foundational infrastructure, container runtime environments, developer tooling, messaging systems, and observability capabilities required to run reliable and scalable applications.

This is a greenfield engineering opportunity. The team is defining how infrastructure is built and operated using code, APIs, and declarative systems, with reliability, observability, and repeatability built in from the start.

Our approach emphasizes:
Linux-first systems design
Kubernetes as a core abstraction layer
Infrastructure-as-code and Git-based workflows
Open observability standards (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry)
Distributed, software-defined storage and networking
Engineers on this team help build and operate the foundational platforms that support modern workloads and internal technology services.

MidAmerican Energy Company, a Midwest utility, provides regulated electric and natural gas service to more than 1.6 million customers in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. The company owns and operates a portfolio of power-generating assets, approximately 61% of which is wind generation.MidAmerican Energy Company is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion or religious creed, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status (except as required by law), gender (including gender identity and expression), sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, genetic information, physical or mental disability, veteran or military status, familial or parental status, marital status or any other category protected by applicable local, state or U.S. federal law. Employees must be able to perform the essential functions of the position, with or without an accommodation.

Bachelor's degree in management information systems (MIS), computer science or related technical field or equivalent work experience. (Typically four years of related, progressive work experience would be needed for candidates applying for this position who do not possess a bachelor's degree.)

A minimum of four years of experience in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, site reliability engineering, or a related engineering role.

A minimum of five or more years of experience in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, site reliability engineering, or a related engineering role for level 3.

Experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Linux systems and core infrastructure fundamentals
  • Container platforms and orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes
  • Infrastructureascode and declarative system design (e.g., Terraform, Gitbased workflows)
  • Distributed systems concepts and largescale infrastructure environments
  • Opensource observability tools including Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry
  • Exposure to distributed storage systems (e.g., Ceph or similar technologies)
  • Networking fundamentals in distributed or hybrid environments
  • APIdriven infrastructure and automation systems
  • Foundational infrastructure security practices, including identity and secrets management
  • Hybrid infrastructure environments spanning onpremises data centers and cloud platforms

This software engineer-infrastructure contributes to the design, implementation, and operation of foundational infrastructure systems that power the company's technology platform. This role supports compute, storage, networking, and container infrastructure used by enterprise applications, internal platforms, and hybrid cloud environments.
Software engineers at this level focus on building, operating, and improving infrastructure platforms using established patterns, automation, and infrastructure-as-code. They work collaboratively with platform and operations teams while continuing to build deep technical expertise in distributed systems and modern infrastructure practices.
