We’re hiring a Senior Systems Engineer as WRA builds its new internal IT & Cybersecurity functions.

You will be highly autonomous and will work closely with your Director to maintain and improve our current technology stack. Our 100-person workforce is highly distributed, and your priority is engineering our tools to enable our staff to do their best work securely, efficiently and consistently.
