Retail Success is seeking a mid to senior level Cloud Engineer to join our team in Overland Park, KS. This position participates in the creation and maintenance of development, test, and production environments with a goal of high availability, fault-tolerance, and scalability.

The Cloud Engineer works closely with a co-located team of Cloud Engineers, Software Engineers, QA Engineers, Product Owners, and a Data Engineer within an agile environment. The ideal candidate is a self-driven technologist who designs and develops systems, processes, and automation using AWS and Terraform — someone who is ready to grow into broader ownership of infrastructure over time.

• Collaborating with a tight-knit engineering team that respects your expertise and lets you do your best work?
• In addition to our fun and collaborative work culture, we offer comprehensive health, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), and Paid Time Off.
