Job description
About Breezy HR

Breezy HR is a remote‑first, profitable hiring platform built for small and mid‑sized businesses. Thousands of teams trust us to streamline recruiting from first touch to signed offer, and we’re passionate about delivering a fast, delightful experience for every candidate and every hiring manager.

Why this role?

We’re hiring a Senior Platform Engineer with deep, senior‑level infrastructure experience who also enjoys writing and shipping customer‑facing code — about a 65% DevOps/Platform, 35% product‑code split.

We’re modernizing our platform for faster releases, stronger reliability, and tighter security. Our small, senior team needs an engineer who can keep CI/CD humming, maintain and continuously improve our cloud infrastructure, own observability, and jump onto product work so the platform stays battle‑tested and our devs stay unblocked.

Key responsibilities (≈65% platform/35% product)
  • Own CI/CD pipelines end‑to‑end, ensuring fast, reliable deployments and simple rollbacks.
  • Maintain & evolve our AWS infrastructure with Terraform or AWS CDK, continually improving security, cost efficiency, and compliance (least‑privilege IAM, secrets management).
  • Run observability – logs, metrics, traces, dashboards – and lead incident response for production issues.
  • Embed with product engineers to deliver customer features or performance fixes (Node.js/React).
  • Cross‑train teammates through pairing and concise documentation so knowledge never bottlenecks.
  • Participate in a shared on‑call rotation (≈1week in6) for production infrastructure.
What we’re looking for
  • 5+ years total engineering experience; 3+ years building cloud infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, etc.) on AWS.
  • Proven ownership of CI/CD for multi‑service SaaS products.
  • Production‑grade coding skills in at least one language – ability to deliver a small API, CLI, or internal UI end‑to‑end.
  • Hands‑on with containers & orchestration (ECS, EKS, Fargate, Docker Compose) and at least one observability stack (Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb, NewRelic).
  • Working knowledge of security best practices (TLS everywhere, least‑privilege IAM, secrets management) and basic compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO27001, GDPR).
  • Strong communicator able to explain infrastructure trade‑offs to engineers, PMs, and architects.
Bonus points
  • Implemented GitOps (ArgoCD, Flux) or blue/green & canary release patterns.
  • Experience with MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, or high‑scale message queues.
  • Mentored DevOps engineers or led a platform guild.
What we offer
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • PTO – 15 days in year1, rising to 21 days in year2.
  • MacBookPro and all necessary accessories.
