Systems Engineer
Outpost, Austin
The role
We are seeking a Systems Engineer to keep the physical systems behind our platform running in the field — kiosks, edge compute, networking, power, cameras, and access control — and to make each new site launch faster and more repeatable than the last. Our site footprint is growing quickly, and when our system goes down, trucks stop moving and a customer’s yard stops running. This is a hands-on role: you will own uptime across the deployed fleet, troubleshoot hardware in the yard, run acceptance testing with our manufacturers and at new sites, integrate our access-control platform with customer security systems, and build the tooling and documentation that let a kiosk go from crate to live without a specialist on site.
This position reports to Michael Sewell, Senior System Engineer.
Location: Austin, TX (preferred) | Open to candidates in the Central or Eastern time zones.
This role is ideally based in our Austin office, where we value in-person collaboration. However, we're open to considering candidates based in the Central or Eastern time zones who are a strong fit for the role.
