You’ll partner closely with Engineering, Security, and Product to build resilient infrastructure, improve developer experience, and raise the bar on observability and incident response.

What you'll be doing:

• Own and improve platform reliability (SLOs/SLIs), capacity planning, and production readiness
• Design, build, and maintain Kubernetes-based infrastructure and deployment workflows
• Operate and evolve our AWS footprint (networking, compute, storage, IAM) with a security-first mindset
• Improve our CD/GitOps practices (ArgoCD) and deployment safety (progressive delivery, rollbacks, guardrails)
• Build autoscaling strategies for services and workloads (KEDA where appropriate)
• Lead incident response: on-call, triage, mitigation, postmortems, and preventative follow-through
• Strengthen observability across services: metrics, logs, traces, and alerting (OpenTelemetry + dashboards)
• Partner with application teams to tune performance, reduce toil, and improve operational maturity
• Improve infrastructure-as-code practices and maintain Terraform modules and environments
• Contribute to evaluating and integrating AI tooling and MCP tools to accelerate operational workflows

What you should bring:

• 5+ years of experience in site reliability engineering
• Experience owning reliability for production systems — defining SLOs or running error budgets
• Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes/Helm on EKS in production
• Experience with Cloudflare (CDN, WAF, etc)
• Experience with CI/CD or general GitOps deployment pattern experience
• Has led or significantly contributed to incident response and postmortem processes
• Working knowledge of AWS core services (networking, IAM, compute) beyond just EKS

Nice to have:

• Experience evaluating or building AI-assisted ops tooling (MCP, agentic runbooks)
• OpenTelemetry / observability pipeline design
• Experience with Terraform
