About The Company
Energy Innovation Corp. is a forward-thinking organization based in Maple Grove, Minnesota, focused on building and improving reliable technology solutions. Our engineering team works across cloud infrastructure, application performance, and internal tools to support the needs of the business and its customers. We believe strong results come from collaboration, thoughtful problem-solving, and continuous learning—not from relying on individual heroics or sustained overwork.
We value engineers who share knowledge, ask questions, and help make systems and processes better for everyone.
About The Role
We are seeking a Junior AWS Engineer who is curious, organized, and motivated to solve challenging technical problems. In this role, you will contribute to cloud-based services and applications, work with experienced teammates, and build practical skills across AWS, Docker, Amazon ECS, Consul, and load balancing. You will help investigate incidents, improve performance, integrate services, and develop tools that make the engineering team more effective.
This position is well suited to someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates clearly, and is eager to grow through hands-on experience and constructive feedback.
The role offers a salary range of $63,000–$91,000, depending on relevant experience and qualifications. The position is remote with a flexible schedule, while supporting collaboration with colleagues connected to our Maple Grove, Minnesota team.
Qualifications
You bring strong organizational skills and can manage several workstreams while keeping teammates informed about progress, priorities, and risks. You have practical experience working with cloud or technology systems and can explain your contributions clearly. Familiarity with AWS, AWS Solutions Architect concepts, Docker, and distributed services is important;
experience with Amazon ECS, Consul, or load-balancing systems is an advantage. You have at least one year of experience estimating work and taking responsibility for those estimates, or equivalent practical experience that demonstrates sound judgment and accountability.
You communicate confidently in writing and in conversations, and you are comfortable working with both technical and nontechnical partners. You are willing to ask questions early, including when a requirement is unclear, and you approach unfamiliar problems with curiosity. We value a track record of improving processes, learning from mistakes, and contributing constructively to a team.
Responsibilities In this role, you will:
Create clear sequence diagrams and technical documentation that help teammates understand how systems and services interact.
Participate in incident reviews and postmortems, including investigating the cause of service disruptions and helping prevent similar issues from recurring.
Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the company’s technology stack.
Trace application and infrastructure issues across load-balancing services, identify root causes, and work with the team to implement appropriate fixes.
Help optimize application performance, latency, reliability, and resource utilization as systems scale.
Build dashboards and reporting tools that make useful operational information easier for engineers to access.
Develop internal tooling that improves developer productivity and delivery velocity.
Work with product and engineering partners to assess technical tradeoffs, communicate constraints, and agree on realistic plans.
Share findings, document solutions, and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and collaborative problem-solving.
Benefits
