About The Texas Tribune
Here’s what you should know about the Tribune. From day one we’ve had disruption, innovation and risk-taking in our DNA. We’re ambitious as all get out but still have the punch-above-your-weight mentality of a scrappy start-up. We believe we can meet the demands of our audience and our own expectations for excellence without breaking the bank — or our staff. We understand not everything is a story for us — we have to make choices — but we’re always looking to expand our boundaries. We’re nonprofit because the challenging economic reality for media these days obligates us to find a different way, reliable and sustainable, to fund serious journalism. We’re nonpartisan because we live in the United States of Confirmation Bias — and we don’t need to be part of the problem. We don’t need to be yet another source of information affirming the voices and perspectives that are already in people’s heads. At the same time, nonpartisan is not non-thinking. We call B.S. when B.S. needs to be called.
All of us at the Trib believe the best way to achieve that mission is to resemble the state we cover. We’re committed to building an inclusive newsroom for people of all backgrounds and ages, and we’re taking steps to meet that commitment. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply for this role, including women, people of color, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities Show more details...

The starting annual salary for this position is $90,000+, depending on qualifications.
Responsibilities:
• Design, maintain, and provision infrastructure systems using industry best practices (Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services and Heroku)
• Administer our databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), manage data backup and restore systems
• Automate our tests and improve our continuous integration and delivery systems (CI/CD)
• Configure logging, monitoring and alerting systems
• Research and educate the engineering team on emerging technologies and tools

• Understanding of git and code collaboration best practices
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
It would be nice if you have experience with:
• Web security threat models and prevention tactics
• Maintaining infrastructure-as-code (Ansible, Terraform)

We know there are great candidates who won’t check all of the boxes above, and we also know you might bring important skills that we haven’t considered. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
What you can expect from us:
• Opportunity to work with modern tooling and experiment with new ways to solve old problems. We’re a nimble team and always eager to try new approaches that improve developer experience and site reliability.
• Relevant, high-impact projects. You’ll work on infrastructure that supports reporting on elections, lawmakers in power, schools and much more. We see the impact of our journalism all over Texas and sometimes beyond.
• Encouragement of professional enrichment with hours and budget set aside for exploratory learning and skill development.
• An emphasis on an inclusive and equitable team culture, work-life balance, and ensuring you have purpose and direction in your career.

About The Texas Tribune
Here s what you should know about the Tribune. From day one we ve had disruption, innovation and risk-taking in our DNA. We re ambitious as all get out but still have the punch-above-your-weight mentality of a scrappy start-up. We believe we can meet the demands of our audience and our own expectations for excellence without breaking the bank or our staff. We understand not everything is a story for us we have to make choices but we re always looking to expand our boundaries. We re nonprofit because the challenging economic reality for media these days obligates us to find a different way, reliable and sustainable, to fund serious journalism. We re nonpartisan because we live in the United States of Confirmation Bias and we don t need to be part of the problem. We don t need to be yet another source of information affirming the voices and perspectives that are already in people s heads. At the same time, nonpartisan is not non-thinking. We call B.S. when B.S. needs to be called.
All of us at the Trib believe the best way to achieve that mission is to resemble the state we cover. We re committed to building an inclusive newsroom for people of all backgrounds and ages, and we re taking steps to meet that commitment. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply for this role, including women, people of color, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities.
