Senior Systems Engineer
SUMMARY:
Pixar's Systems Infrastructure team builds, manages, and secures the systems the studio depends on to make movies. We work to ensure there is sufficient server, network, and data center capacity to react to changes in schedule, workflow, or resource demand. We help to keep the good things secure and the bad folks at bay.

This position is perfect for an experienced candidate who has worn many hats and enjoys swapping them several times a day.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Ensure availability, capacity, and security of data, systems, and network
• Create and document tools to automate system provisioning and management
• Respond to issues with considered solutions and automation as a goal
• Influence system architectures and create standards and methods
