Job description

Responsibilities

• Build and operate the systems that keep Dispatch running reliably at scale.
• Own infrastructure-as-code, deployment pipelines, and service observability.
• Write Go code where infra meets application logic split: 60% Platform / DevOps / SRE, 40% Backend Development (Go).

Infrastructure and Automation

• Design and manage AWS infrastructure using Terraform (ECS, RDS, Redis, Kafka, networking, and IAM).
• Own service deployment patterns on ECS / Fargate.
• Build safe, repeatable environments (dev, staging, prod).

Reliability and Operations

• Define and implement SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets.
• Build alerting and incident response playbooks.
• Improve system resilience against service crashes, network failures, dependency latency, and traffic spikes.

Observability

• Implement structured logging, metrics, and distributed tracing.
• Instrument Go services for performance, latency, and error visibility.
• Own dashboards and alerts for critical services.

CI/CD and Release Engineering

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines.
• Improve deployment safety (rollbacks, canaries, and blue-green where needed).
• Reduce MTTR through automation.

Service Development

• Write production Go code for internal platform services, infra-adjacent tooling, and reliability utilities.
• Improve service startup, configuration, and graceful shutdown behavior. Systems Collaboration.
• Work with backend teams to make services observable and operable, improve concurrency and resource usage, and reduce operational risk.

Architecture Input

• Influence system design from a reliability and scalability lens.
• Review designs for operational complexity and failure modes.

Requirements

• 4-7 years of experience in backend, platform, or infra-heavy roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS (ECS/Fargate, RDS, networking).
• Solid experience with Terraform in production systems.
• Strong understanding of Linux, containers, and networking basics.
• Proficiency in Go (reading, writing, and debugging production code).
• Experience running Redis, Kafka, and Postgres in real systems.
• Strong debugging and incident-handling mindset.

SRE Mindset

• Comfort owning systems end-to-end.
• Ability to reason about failure modes, not just happy paths.
• Bias toward automation over manual operations.

Nice to Have

• Experience defining SLOs and alerting strategies.
• Experience with high-throughput or real-time systems.
• Exposure to geo-distributed systems or event-driven architectures.
