Job description

I'm Angelo Pace, Senior Manager, Platform at Teamworks. Our Platform Engineering team owns the infrastructure that keeps elite sports organizations running. I'm looking for a Platform Engineer II to support day-to-day operations of our AWS infrastructure and help us drive meaningful improvements to observability and stability as we grow.

This is a collaborative, hands-on role. You'll work alongside a platform team that serves application teams across the organization, and the best work you'll do here is the kind that makes those teams' lives measurably easier.

The Role

• Own day-to-day operations and maintenance of our AWS environment, including EKS cluster management, EC2, RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, S3, and IAM
• Manage deployments of new features and fixes, coordinating with application teams through structured intake and ad hoc request processes
• Build and maintain reusable Terraform modules, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipeline templates (GitLab CI) that enforce organizational standards for scalability, compliance, and observability
• Diagnose cross-cutting infrastructure issues - networking misconfigurations, IAM permission boundaries, Kubernetes scheduling failures - evaluating blast radius and downstream impact before proposing solutions
• Partner with application teams to translate platform changes and new standards into clear, actionable guidance that reduces friction across the organization
• Drive improvements to environment observability and stability using Datadog, and participate in on-call rotation with full production ownership

What I'm Looking For

What You Must Bring

• 3+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering
• Strong proficiency in Linux administration in production environments, including RHEL-based system management
• Proven hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS preferred), Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI or comparable tooling
• Experience deploying and managing infrastructure in AWS
• Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate platform changes into clear guidance for application teams

Even Better If

• You have experience with configuration management and automation tooling (Ansible, AWX, and Packer)
• You have familiarity with Python or shell scripting for operational tooling, or experience with Datadog or a comparable observability platform
• You have exposure to AWS Bedrock or AI agent development in an infrastructure context

Why This Role

This role is not eligible for sponsorship at this time.
