Their Identity Engine, the first and only of its kind, uses complex machine learning to combine features derived from the billions of transactions within our proprietary network and the data from our graph to deliver industry-leading risk assessment solutions.

This is a Terraform-first engineering role where Infrastructure as Code is the standard for provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure. You will build reusable infrastructure modules, automate deployments, and support modern cloud-native platforms using Amazon EKS and AWS services.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and support secure, highly available AWS cloud infrastructure for production and development environments
• Design, develop, and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform as the primary provisioning tool

• Automate infrastructure provisioning, deployments, and operational tasks using GitHub Actions, Argo CD, and CI/CD pipelines
• Implement AWS security best practices, including IAM, KMS, Secrets Manager, patching, and vulnerability remediation
• Monitor platform health, availability, and performance using CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana
• Troubleshoot complex AWS, Kubernetes, Linux, networking, and infrastructure issues while participating in an on-call rotation
• Develop automation and tooling using Python, Go, or Bash to improve operational efficiency
• Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Amazon Q Developer to accelerate infrastructure development and automation
• Collaborate with Engineering, Security, and Platform teams to deliver secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud solutions
• Create and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, Terraform standards, and operational runbooks

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and deploying AWS infrastructure using Terraform
• Demonstrated experience developing reusable Terraform modules and managing Infrastructure as Code in enterprise environments
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Strong experience building and operating Amazon EKS or Kubernetes platforms
• Strong experience administering Amazon Linux and Ubuntu Linux
• Experience building machine images using HashiCorp Packer
• Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar CI/CD platforms
• Strong understanding of AWS networking, IAM, VPCs, load balancing, Route 53, storage, and security best practices
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana
• Programming or scripting experience using Python, Go, or Bash
• Excellent troubleshooting, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Experience with Databricks administration is a plus
• Monitoring: Experience with Prometheus and Grafana is highly desirable
• Logging: Experience with Athena is preferred; Splunk experience is a minor plus
• Kubernetes: Experience with Amazon EKS is ideal, though general Kubernetes knowledge remains a strong base
