About the role

What will you do at Midwestern?

A faith-based technology organization that has crossed 1 billion installs worldwide is looking for their first Platform SRE. The scale is real - but so is the mission. This isn't a company that happens to have Christian values on a wall somewhere.

It's a ministry, and the team operates like one. Prayer is part of standups. The work is considered service.

The team thinks seriously about what it means to build infrastructure at that scale, in that context. If that environment energizes you, read on. 📍 Contract to Hire | Edmond, OK (OKC metro) | Relocation required within 1 year | Primarily onsite What you'll be building: This is a greenfield SRE function.

You'll be establishing the foundation: SLAs, uptime tracking, CI/CD improvement, and platform reliability from the ground up. Builder mentality required.

What we're looking for: • Strong SRE/DevOps background - Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, cloud-native (AWS/GCP) • Experience with large-scale distributed systems • Comfort building reliability practices from scratch, not just maintaining them • Genuine Christian faith and readiness to work in a ministry environment — this is a real requirement, not a formality • Willingness to relocate to the Edmond/OKC area within 12 months ✝️ THE HIRING TEAM IS LOOKING FOR ENGINEERS WHO UNDERSTAND THAT WORKING IN MINISTRY IS DIFFERENT & WHO ARE READY FOR THAT, NOT JUST OPEN TO IT.
