About the job:

As a Production Engineer, you'll join WebMD's SRE team to manage, improve, and evolve our entire backend stack. In this role, you will focus heavily on maintaining our Windows-based infrastructure as well as Linux and Kubernetes.

You will:

• Manage and optimize our Windows Server environments and Kubernetes clusters to ensure the high availability and reliability of WebMD's popular sites and services.
  

• Automate tasks and routines through modern scripting (primarily PowerShell and Python), simplifying developer and operations workflows.
  

• Take ownership of tasks and projects within our Observability stack (including Prometheus and ELK) to maintain full-stack visibility, latency tracking, and scalability.
  

• Identify opportunities for infrastructure improvement, collaborate with other Operations teams, and act as a driver of change.
  

A successful candidate will be able to:

• Demonstrate fluency in working with Windows Server operating systems, paired with a strong command-line aptitude and a willingness to learn or work within Linux environments.
  

• Show hands-on proficiency in deploying, managing, or troubleshooting workloads within Kubernetes.
  

• Provide samples of automation scripts built using PowerShell, Python, or Go.
  

• Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or LLMs) to accelerate scripting, troubleshooting, and daily operational workflows.
  

• Drive continuous improvement within our Observability and monitoring ecosystems (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack).
  

• Demonstrate operational competency with critical stack technologies:
  

• Configuration management (e.g., Puppet, Ansible)
  

• Load balancers (specifically F5 Big-IP)
  

• Data and messaging layers (e.g., Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ)
  

• Convey a fundamental understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps).
  

• Participate in the team's on-call rotation to address production issues outside of working hours.
  

About you (Qualifications):

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, or equivalent practical experience.
  

• 4+ years of overall experience in IT/Infrastructure, with 2+ years of relevant experience supporting web-based applications for large-scale, high-traffic websites.
  

• Proven experience troubleshooting and performance tuning distributed systems, IIS, and web applications.
  

• Fundamental understanding of network concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP) and traffic management via F5 Big-IP.
  

• An open, adaptive mindset toward adopting new methodologies, whether that means jumping into a Linux CLI or integrating AI tools into your daily engineering workflow.
  

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey detailed technical concepts clearly to both peers and non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus Eligible:This position is also eligible for a discretionary company bonus, based upon business results.
