• Contribute to incident response and postmortems, turning findings into durable fixes
• Support engineering teams with infrastructure questions, escalations, and day-to-day unblocking

Cloud & Platform Engineering

• Manage and scale our core AWS footprint (EKS, VPC, RDS) through Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Enhance disaster recovery and failover mechanisms to protect mission-critical workloads
• Collaborate with product engineering to streamline and optimize internal developer experience

CI/CD & Deployment Automation

• Design and scale deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions
• Expand GitOps practices and tooling through ArgoCD
• Facilitate secure delivery with automated validation and progressive rollout strategies

Observability & Monitoring

• Oversee and optimize the organization's monitoring, logging, and alerting infrastructure
• Develop high-signal metrics, tracing, and visualization dashboards while minimizing operational noise
• Establish and monitor Service Level Objectives for managed platform components

Qualifications

Required

• 4+ years of professional experience across SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering domains
• Technical proficiency in Kubernetes, including cluster troubleshooting and managing controllers or CRDs
• Advanced Terraform or OpenTofu expertise, encompassing module architecture and production state management
• Hands-on operational experience with GitOps workflows via ArgoCD and Helm-based deployments
• Ability to author production-grade code in Go or Python alongside robust shell scripting
• Mastery of core AWS services, specifically EKS, Networking/VPC, RDS, and IAM
• Experience maintaining and scaling CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions within collaborative environments
• Proven track record of leading infrastructure initiatives from initial design through to long-term operation
• Background in supporting large-scale distributed systems within high-availability production environments
• Adept at navigating interrupt-driven workflows, balancing strategic project delivery with day-to-day operational support

Preferred

• Exposure to Crossplane or alternative Kubernetes-native solutions for infrastructure provisioning
• Deep observability experience utilizing Datadog or Prometheus to engineer SLOs, high-signal dashboards, and intelligent alerting
• Practical knowledge of modern secrets management frameworks and implementation
• Experience optimizing cluster efficiency through autoscaling technologies such as Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler
