Senior Infra Engineer — AWS/EKS Platform Owner

vsco39; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

VSCO is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure to own the platform that supports product and data teams. You will design and operate the AWS/EKS stack using Terraform, Helm, and Flux GitOps, enabling scalable, secure, and reliable infrastructure.

You will lead production cutovers, manage DNS/CDN and observability, and collaborate with multiple teams to ensure shared-infra is used where appropriate, reducing snowflakes and toil.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering with hands-on production ownership
• Strong production experience with Kubernetes/EKS, Linux, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
• AWS in production: EKS, IAM/IRSA, networking (VPC, NAT, DNS), and at least one of RDS/MySQL, Elasticache/Valkey, or OpenSearch
• GitOps and CI/CD with Flux/Helm and GitHub Actions (self-hosted runners a plus)
• Experience leading technical architecture discussions, explaining tradeoffs, and driving a decision inside a small team
• Experience troubleshooting complex production issues, including network and DNS, and turning them into durable fixes
• Excellent communication: you can teach another team how to consume the platform, and you can write the cutover plan

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate the AWS and EKS platform using Terraform, Helm/Kustomize, and Flux GitOps across infra, shared-infra, and app-owned repos (Workspace, search, data)
• Own production cutovers end to end: ingress, DNS, workers and crons, telemetry monitors and dashboards, and a rollback plan you would actually use
• Partner with product and data teams on the right home for new infra, including namespaces, secrets (SOPS, IRSA), preview environments, and not reinventing namespace or secret wiring that already lives in shared-infra
• Build and maintain CI/CD on GitHub Actions, including self-hosted runners, image builds, and deploy pipelines that other teams can copy
• Run core data stores and caches as platform services: MySQL, Mongo, Redis, OpenSearch
• Cloudflare and CloudFront: DNS and zone moves, CDN behavior, WAF, custom domains
• Observability and autoscaling with monitors, dashboards, external-metrics HPA
• Participate in the infra on-call rotation. Debug Linux, Kubernetes, and network issues, then turn the incident into Terraform, alerts, or docs
• Review infra PRs and design docs. Help other engineers make the tradeoff, not just merge the change
