Our mission is to safeguard the trust between users and Internet services by establishing a secure and authentic digital identity.

Magic's vision is to build the passport of the internet. We are looking for team members who are not afraid to push beyond the status quo and create the most straightforward, most secure, and most long-term sustainable identity solution for app developers and end-users. This is a unique opportunity to help us disrupt the world of authentication.

We are seeking to work with a curious, talented, and self-motivated DevOps Engineer with an insatiable appetite for learning and self improvement. You are passionate about implementing infrastructure solutions to achieve high maintainability, availability and scalability.

Magic fully operates in a public cloud environment (AWS). We heavily adopt infrastructure-as-code (IaC) philosophy. We believe in automating infrastructure and operations to scale. System imperfections, and inefficiencies is the Bane to your Batman, and pragmatism is your north star.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Arthur C. Clarke
