Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.

## Description

We are seeking an experienced Posit Platform Engineer / Administrator to own, operate, and scale our data science ecosystem, anchored by Posit Connect and Posit Workbench. Operating on AWS and Linux, this environment serves as the central hub for our analysts and data scientists to build, deploy, and share mission-critical data products. While direct Posit experience is valued, we prioritize candidates with a deep background in Linux, cloud infrastructure, and comparable analytics platforms who can jump in, partner with technical users, and drive operational excellence.
Key Responsibilities
Platform Lifecycle Management: Handle end-to-end installation, configuration, scaling, patching, and routine upgrades for Posit Workbench, Posit Connect, and associated tooling.
Cloud & Infrastructure Operations: Manage the underlying AWS architecture, ensuring high availability, disaster recovery readiness, storage management, and robust networking.
Security & Compliance: Implement and maintain rigorous access controls, single sign-on (SSO) integrations, role-based permissions, and environment monitoring to secure sensitive data workflows.
User Enablement & Support: Act as the primary escalation point for troubleshooting platform issues, onboarding new users, and optimizing code deployment pipelines for R and Python.
Collaboration & Requirements Gathering: Partner closely with data science and analytics teams to understand evolving project needs, provision required packages/dependencies, and streamline publishing workflows.
