Senior SRE / Infrastructure Engineer

OUR MISSION

Everyone knows the feeling of opening something unexpected and loving it. IcyBox turns that feeling into a business. We started as a watch commerce and mystery box company and are building a consumer brand people trust and come back to. We move fast, sweat the details, and are still writing our playbook.

OUR VALUES

• Move Fast, Build Right: Ship today, fix tomorrow.
• Own the Gap: If nobody owns it, we step in.
• Clarity Is a Gift: Turn noise into decisions and action.
• Trust Over Title: Follow-through beats position.
• Say the Real Thing: Hard conversations happen early.
• Do the Unglamorous Work: No task is beneath us.
