Job summary

M1 Finance is seeking a senior infrastructure engineer to design and run our AWS foundation and Kubernetes platforms. You’ll own account structure, VPC, DNS, routing, IAM, and Terraform conventions, and you’ll harden reliability in hybrid and on-prem environments.

You’ll advance observability, CI/CD and GitOps, secrets management, and network security while mentoring others. If you bring deep production experience and a pragmatic, ownership-driven mindset, we want to talk.

Qualifications

• Several years (typically 5+) building and running production infrastructure or platforms.
• Hands-on depth in AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, CI/CD/GitOps, observability, and security.

Responsibilities

• Design and evolve our AWS foundation — account structure, network architecture (VPC, DNS, routing), and IAM — and shape the Terraform conventions the infra team builds on.
• Harden our network's reliability, including the hybrid and on-prem connectivity behind systems that can’t go down.
• Operate and evolve our Kubernetes (EKS) clusters and the in-cluster platform services that run on them — ingress, service mesh, autoscaling, and policy.
• Build the observability layer — metrics, logs, traces, and alerting — so teams can see how their systems behave and catch issues before customers do.
• Expand our self-service platform and CI/CD + GitOps automation, so routine changes are safe and repeatable instead of manual and risky.
• Keep security, secrets management, and least-privilege access sane as the platform grows.
• Share in on-call, and bring an SRE mindset to keeping reliability, cost, and toil all trending in the right direction.
