ANVILOPS
Careers

We are not hiring yet. Here is who we will hire first.

AnvilOps is a one-person practice today. As client volume grows, two roles come first. If either sounds like you, send a note — we will keep you in mind when budget catches up to ambition.

DevOps Engineer

You would own the operations side of client work. Retainers, on-call rotations, infrastructure automation, and the boring-but-critical platform engineering that keeps customer environments healthy.

What you would own

  • Day-to-day operations for a portfolio of retainer clients
  • Infrastructure automation: pipelines, observability, deployment tooling
  • Incident response and on-call rotation across our client base
  • Direct customer conversations — technical, but in plain English

What we would look for

  • Strong Linux, networking, and cloud fundamentals across at least one major provider
  • Comfort with container platforms, infrastructure as code, and observability tooling
  • Patience with documentation. Real patience, not interview-answer patience.
  • Steady temperament under pressure. You stay calm when things break.

What we would not expect

  • A computer science degree. We hire for what you can do.
  • Mastery of every tool we use. We expect you to learn what you do not know.

Software Developer

You would own the engineering side — customer-facing tooling, internal automation, integrations, dashboards, and the product work that makes operations scalable instead of a treadmill.

What you would own

  • Internal tooling that makes our retainer work efficient
  • Customer-facing dashboards, portals, and integration software
  • Automation that replaces manual operational toil
  • Sharing engineering thinking with clients when needed

What we would look for

  • Comfortable across the stack: backend, frontend, scripting, and the glue between them
  • Practical taste in what to build, what to buy, and what to defer
  • Real writing ability. Code, documentation, and customer communication all matter.
  • Curiosity about infrastructure even if you have not lived in it daily

What we would not expect

  • A specific language or framework background. We pick what fits the problem.
  • FAANG-style scale experience. We optimize for clarity, not headcount.

What working here would look like

Small, deliberate, honest.

Real ownership

You own outcomes, not tickets. We hire people who can think, not people who can be assigned.

Remote or local

Based in central Indiana is a plus for client visits, but we hire the best person regardless of zip code.

Direct conversations

Small team means no politics. We tell you what we think, and we expect the same from you.

Honest growth

No promotion theatre, no stack ranking. You grow as the company does, and we are transparent about both.

Not sure if it is the right fit?

Send us a note anyway. We respond to every message, even if the answer is “not right now.”
