Systems Engineer Jobs

About Us

Peak Design makes radical, meticulously-engineered gear for detail-obsessed people. Our backpacks, travel bags, camera gear, and phone accessories are used dang-near everywhere. If you’ve visited Machu Picchu, Tokyo, or an REI store in the last 10 years, you’ve been within ogling distance of a Peak Design product.

Alongside our award-winning gear is a brand that truly reflects who we are as people—passionate about design, deeply caring about our environmental and social impact, unafraid to speak up, radically transparent, and generally down to clown. Whether we’re explaining a product, running a sale, launching a nonprofit, sponsoring a film, or razzing the biggest company on Earth, we do it with our trademark honesty, warmth, and wit. Through our products and our brand, we aim to create delight, and leave this world better than how we found it.

About The Role

Our small but mighty Business Technology team is responsible for building and streamlining business processes by leveraging technology to optimize operations, enhance productivity, and propel business growth. We’re opening a new role - Systems Engineer - to help us build, optimize and improve existing workflows for the business.

We’re looking for a tenacious problem-solver: someone who can proactively identify issues, investigate and determine their root causes, ideate effective solutions, and collaboratively work with other team members to address and resolve them. You will be responsible for designing, developing, integrating, testing, optimizing, and managing complex systems to meet the requirements of an internal team or project. You should be able to quickly understand how systems are interconnected to one another, how each change will affect upstream and downstream systems, and how to effectively communicate changes and their implications to various stakeholders.

What You’ll Do:

• Test, troubleshoot, and recommend corrective actions on any integration
• Implement the integration of different subsystems to work seamlessly together
• Define and build a longer term strategy for Peak Design’s internal tools
• Define processes and extract, transform, load (ETL) infrastructure to transfer and make data readily available across the company
• Implement automated workflows that lower operational and/or manual costs
• Enable workflows across siloed systems by integrating elements of application layers

About You

Requirements:

• Previous experience integrating multiple complex systems within an e-commerce environment
• Experience with monitoring platforms
• Able to analyze technical business requirements, including functional and non-functional requirements, to architect and develop integrations across critical applications
• Creative and analytical thinker who can facilitate resolution to key design decisions in complex, integrated systems projects
• General understanding of how the web works. You won’t have to code, but you will need to read some code, know your way around an API, what a JSON object is, and understand configuration options
• 1-3 years of relevant experience

Not required, but nice to have:

• Previous experience using an iPaaS Platform such as Celigo or similar
• Familiarity working with complex expressions (e.g. Regex)

We will begin reviewing applications and reaching out to qualified candidates in mid-July.

What We Offer

• Generous mental health and fertility health reimbursement options
• Unlimited PTO policy, 12 paid company holidays, and flexible work schedules
• Life/AD&D, long-term disability, and short-term disability coverage
• Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options
• Pre-tax commuter benefits
• 100% paid parental leave
• Quarterly onsite or offsite collaboration weeks with the whole Peak Design team
• 100% covered employee premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Charitable donation program with employer matching
• 401(k) plan with employer matching
• Annual career development stipend
• Monthly cell phone reimbursement
• Peak Design product and exclusive industry discounts

WHY US?

Thanks to the folks at Outside Magazine, we can tell you that Peak Design is an objectively great place to work. Why? We provide opportunities to go deep in your craft, work both autonomously and collaboratively, drive your professional growth, and recharge with flexible Fridays and unlimited paid time off -- the saucy list of perks and benefits goes on. So, how do we maintain this exquisite way of working while also pulling off an exceptionally thoughtful brand and product line? A close-knit culture that values transparency, community, trust, and questioning the status quo.

Many employees find the way we run our business to be radically different from what they’ve experienced elsewhere. You might call it the opposite of micromanagement: employees are often expected to set their own priorities and roadmaps for their areas of the business. Who thrives here? Self-starters. Question-askers. People who make their own to-do lists. Folks who can do a little bit of everything. People who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty with nitty-gritty details in order to see a vision through.

If you prefer to work in a more traditional corporate environment, Peak Design might not be the place for you. But if you’re pickin’ up what we’re putting down, we look forward to hearing from you!

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION & BELONGING

At Peak Design we believe a diverse team is an innovative team and something worth celebrating. A range of perspectives and backgrounds creates a stronger and more creative work environment (not to mention more fun). We’re committed to equality and inclusivity across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experience.

Some candidates may see a long list of job requirements and feel discouraged because they don’t match every single bullet point – we strongly encourage you to apply anyway! If what we do resonates with you, and you feel excited and able to contribute, we’re equally stoked for the opportunity to engage with you.
