• Establish human review checkpoints and guardrails for production actions taken through coding agents.
• Triage infrastructure needs across product, platform, and support teams; document patterns and teach engineers through hands‑on support and sessions.
• Track and reduce cloud and language model costs.

Requirements

• 5+ years in platform engineering, site reliability, DevOps, or cloud operations for production software services.
• Strong AWS experience, including multi‑account environments, IAM, networking, managed databases, and compute services such as EKS, ECS, or Lambda.
• Production experience with Terraform or comparable infrastructure as code, and CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions.
• Regular use of Claude Code or similar agentic tools in engineering work.
• Ability to explain technical tradeoffs and incident impact clearly to non‑engineers.

Nice to have

• On‑call and incident management experience with observability tools such as Datadog or Grafana.
• Production AI or LLM workflow experience, or hands‑on work building agent skills, subagents, MCP servers, and approval controls.
• Working knowledge of Python, JavaScript, Bash, or Go; interest in education or nonprofit work.
