This is a unique opportunity to help us disrupt the world of authentication.

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 Magicโ€™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.
