• Define and execute the roadmap for scalability, performance, and cost optimization across all infrastructure layers.
• Improve our DR architecture and orchestrate regular DR drills.
• Provide recommendations for cost reduction (in AWS), as well as making valuable contributions to identifying and addressing scalability issues with the platform as a whole.
• Recommend security enhancements for triage/risk assessment.
• Oversee CI/CD pipelines, build environments, and monitoring systems to maximize developer productivity and deployment quality.
• Maintain and improve the structure of all of Nulogy’s infrastructure as a code (e.g. Terraform, Cloudformation, Helm).

• Expertise in Kubernetes support and maintenance, both the cluster/infrastructure itself as well as all manner of work to assure optimum pod health.
• Expertise of tactics to sustain optimal performance of relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.
• Developer tooling (shell scripting, optimizing local developer environments, etc.).
• Aptitude for working in a mission critical computing space (i.e. being methodical, data driven and detail oriented).
• Expertise in security best practices (e.g. OWASP, etc.).
• Expertise in building CI/CD pipelines (currently Buildkite).
