Who we are

From the El Paso office, we cover clients within about a two-hour drive and support remote sites through RMM tools. Based in El Paso, Willow Creek Computer Services also runs a small colocation rack for clients who want local backups. Certification exams are paid for, and passing one comes with a raise.

What you'll work on

Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk. Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
