The Role

We are seeking an experienced, enthusiastic Senior DevOps Engineer to join the growing Infrastructure team at Magic. The ideal candidate has the aptitude and passion to become a master of Magic’s product capabilities and underlying technologies. As a Senior DevOps Engineer At Magic, you'll spearhead and partner with amazing engineers, while taking complete ownership of your work.
