• Help keep our platforms reliable and cost-efficient as usage grows.
• Write runbooks and documentation that help on-call engineers, AI Agents and other teams solve problems on their own..
• Make task-level implementation decisions, elevate ambiguity early, and incorporate feedback to improve EngOps execution.

• A solid understanding of core DevOps tools, systems, and practices, coupled with the initiative to ship consistent, high-quality work.
• The ability to execute tasks independently while managing time and priorities effectively.
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and AWS services such as ECS, IAM and networking.
• Working experience with observability in production: metrics, logs, tracing and alerting.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to build trust with the team and influence positive outcomes.
• Effective problem-solving skills and a strong sense of ownership and accountability for your work.
• An awareness of security and privacy, system design, and strategic thinking within an operations environment.

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with advanced observability tools (such as Prometheus or Grafana) and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
• Awareness of large-scale distributed systems and advanced containerized deployments.
• Experience with on-call or production support, and comfort debugging systems you did not build.
