Get Access To All JobsAt Jack Henry, we’re more than a technology company, we’re a force for good in financial services. We’re redefining how community banks and credit unions connect with the people they serve. Our mission is rooted in people inspired innovation, empowering financial institutions to deliver seamless, secure, and human centered experiences. We deliver cutting-edge solutions that are paving the way for the next generation of digital banking and payments, but our true impact begins with our associates. If you're ready to help transform an industry and grow with a company that values purpose, collaboration, and excellence then we’d love to meet you.
Our Cloud Core Infrastructure team isn't just managing servers; WE are the navigators of a massive, shifting ocean of data, compute and artificial intelligence. We maintain the "vessels" (GKE clusters), the "charts" (Terraform), and the "treasure vaults" (HashiCorp Vault) that keep Banno afloat. We’re looking for an Engineer who doesn't just want to "work in tech," but someone who hears the call of the open sea—the vast, unexplored potential of the deep.
This is a remote position and candidates must live within approximately a 70-mile radius of our office locations in Lenexa, KS; Springfield, MO; or Monett, MO.
The salary range for this position is $70,000 - $100,000 and will be determined based on location and experience level. This role may require occasional travel, up to 8% for meetings, training, or conferences.
All positions, regardless of location, may require an onsite interview or in-person onboarding requirement to verify your identity.
What you’ll be responsible for:
- Watchkeeping: Monitoring our GKE and Dataflow horizons for any sign of trouble using Datadog and Honeycomb.
- Maintaining the Rigging: Using Terraform to make sure our cloud resources are sturdy and well-labeled.
- Securing the Cargo: Learning the art of secret management within HashiCorp Vault to keep our keys out of the wrong hands.
- Ship’s Log: Helping us document our discoveries so the next explorer knows the way.
- May perform other job duties as assigned.
What you’ll need to have:
- Enrolled in or a graduate of a computer science, or software engineering degree program or bootcamp.
- Navigational Scripting: A bit of Golang or Python to help automate the rowing.
- Container Craft: Experience with Docker or Kubernetes (knowing your way around a Pod).
- The Blueprinting: Familiarity with Terraform or other ways to chart the sea.
- Data Handling: Exposure to the big vaults like MongoDB, Spanner, or BigQuery.
What would be nice for you to have:
- Insatiable Curiosity: You are the person who asks "why?" until you hit the bedrock. You don't just want to fix a broken pipeline; you want to understand the physics of the failure.
- The Spirit of Exploration: You view a complex Terraform plan or a massive BigQuery dataset not as a chore, but as a map of a new world. You are comfortable feeling "lost" for a moment while you find the right path forward.
- A Love for the Sea (and its Systems): You appreciate that infrastructure is a living ecosystem. You value the stability of the tides and the discipline required to keep a ship (and a platform) "Bristol fashion"—organized, clean, and ready for a storm.
- Resilience in the Gale: When a Spanner node lags or a Dataflow job hits a reef, you stay calm. You’re a problem-solver ready to weather the choppy seas.
If you got this far, we hope you're feeling excited about this opportunity. Even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement on this posting, we still encourage you to apply. We’re looking for passionate, driven individuals who align with our mission and can bring unique perspectives to our team.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as an Infrastructure Software Engineer
Verify your CIP code before applying
Check your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code against the Department of Homeland Security's STEM OPT designated degree list. Computer science, electrical engineering, and information systems are covered, but not all IT-adjacent programs are, so confirm with your DSO before targeting infrastructure roles.
Check employer E-Verify status upfront
Ask recruiters directly whether the company is enrolled in E-Verify before your first interview. Employers can self-confirm enrollment through the E-Verify portal, and starting work at a non-enrolled employer invalidates your STEM OPT extension regardless of your authorization otherwise being valid.
Target infrastructure teams at E-Verify enrolled firms
Use Migrate Mate to filter Infrastructure Software Engineer openings by employers already enrolled in E-Verify, so you're only spending time on roles where your 24-month extension is legally viable from day one.
Align your I-983 training plan to the role's technical scope
Your I-983 must describe measurable learning goals tied to your STEM degree, not just your job duties. For infrastructure roles, map training objectives to specific skills like distributed systems design, container orchestration, or network security that directly connect to your coursework.
Negotiate start dates around your DSO's I-20 amendment timeline
STEM OPT extensions require your DSO to issue an updated I-20 before the new authorization period begins. Build at least two to three weeks of lead time into your offer negotiation so your employer's onboarding schedule doesn't outpace your paperwork.
Use O*NET to validate your role qualifies as STEM
Pull the O*NET occupation profile for Infrastructure Software Engineer and cross-reference the listed knowledge domains with your STEM degree field. Roles requiring bachelor's-level knowledge in computer science or engineering give your employer a clear documented basis for approving the I-983 training plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Infrastructure Software Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, provided your degree is in a DHS-designated STEM field such as computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or information systems, and the role requires applying that technical knowledge directly. Infrastructure roles involving cloud architecture, distributed systems, or network engineering typically satisfy the degree-connection requirement. Confirm your specific CIP code with your DSO before filing.
How do I confirm my employer is enrolled in E-Verify before accepting an offer?
Ask the recruiter or HR contact directly, since employers can verify their own enrollment status through the E-Verify portal. You can also request their E-Verify Company ID number as confirmation. Starting work at a company that isn't enrolled in E-Verify disqualifies your STEM OPT extension, so this check is non-negotiable before signing any offer letter. Migrate Mate flags E-Verify enrollment status for listed employers so you can screen roles before applying.
What should my I-983 training plan include for an infrastructure engineering role?
Your I-983 must identify specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, practical training activities, supervision structure, and how the employer will evaluate your progress. For infrastructure roles, training objectives should reference measurable technical skills, such as designing fault-tolerant systems or implementing observability tooling, that connect explicitly to your degree coursework. Generic job descriptions without that connection can cause your DSO to reject the plan.
Does cap-gap protection apply if my employer files an H-1B petition while I'm on STEM OPT?
Yes. If your employer files a timely H-1B visa cap-subject petition before your STEM OPT EAD expires and you're selected in the lottery, cap-gap automatically extends your work authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year. Your I-20 must be updated by your DSO to reflect the cap-gap period, and you must remain employed by the same petitioning employer during that time.
How do I find Infrastructure Software Engineer jobs where employers are prepared to support STEM OPT students?
Search Migrate Mate for Infrastructure Software Engineer openings filtered by employers enrolled in E-Verify. Targeting companies with established OPT processes reduces the risk of delays caused by employers encountering I-983 requirements for the first time. Mid-size technology companies and employers in cloud infrastructure, fintech, and enterprise software tend to have HR teams experienced with STEM OPT compliance and training plan documentation.
