Job summary

CJ is seeking a Software Engineer 2 on the Engineering Experience (EngExp) platform team to help run and improve CJ's production systems across multiple AWS regions. This hands-on role is focused on observability, Kubernetes/EKS, CI/CD pipelines, and secure access, with ownership from design to operation.

You will collaborate with senior engineers, ship well-scoped platform work end to end, and grow deep in at least one system we own.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• Comfortable in the terminal and reading YAML, Terraform, or similar declarative config.
• Some exposure to cloud (AWS or equivalent) and containers - production Kubernetes experience is a plus, not a requirement.
• Genuine interest in operating real systems - especially observability - and growing deep in them.
• Willing to learn how systems fail and to ask questions when something looks off.
• Effective communication; enjoys pair programming and code review.

Responsibilities

• Pick up well-scoped platform work across the systems above and ship it end to end.
• Build and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines and GitOps delivery through ArgoCD.
• Write and review infrastructure-as-code with Terraform for AWS resources.
• Add and tune observability - Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, Alertmanager rules.
• Help fulfill and then automate recurring requests (ingress, DNS, service accounts, IAM roles).
• Help investigate platform incidents and document what you learn.
• Learn to recognize common failure modes and elevate them early.
