About The Role

What You'll Be Doing

-

Personally design, build, and operate the cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and underlying platform that our production, QA, and development environments run on.

-

Write the automation, IaC, and tooling yourself, including Terraform modules, deployment scripts, and glue code that removes manual work for the whole team.

-

Own reliability directly. Troubleshoot and resolve scalability, availability, and performance issues in live systems, catching and fixing problems before they reach customers.

-

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, keeping them fast, stable, and efficient, and integrate automated testing into them.

-

Stand up monitoring, dashboards, alerting, and log aggregation, then act on what they tell you.

-

Get hands-on with application developers to make deployments seamless, pairing on issues rather than just handing off runbooks.

-

Set technical direction for DevOps and drive it to adoption, making the architectural calls and defending them with working systems.

-

Mentor and grow the engineers around you by reviewing work, unblocking teammates, and raising the bar through hands-on guidance rather than distance.

-

Help shape team structure and priorities, and coordinate closely across engineering and with customers to keep delivery on track.

-

Evaluate and roll out new tools, technologies, and processes, proving them out in real systems rather than in slide decks.

What You'll Bring

-

5+ years of hands-on DevOps engineering, with a track record of things you personally built and shipped.

-

Experience leading or mentoring engineers, or owning the technical direction of a team or major project.

-

Deep, practical expertise in AWS EKS, GitLab CI/CD, and Terraform. You've operated these in production, not just touched them.

-

Extensive hands-on AWS experience across Lambda, API Gateway, CloudWatch, ECS, Kinesis, and Kafka.

-

Fluent on the command line (Bash, Python) and comfortable writing your own automation and tooling.

-

Strong grasp of microservices architecture, container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS), and IaC methodology.

-

Proven ability to architect and scale infrastructure across multiple cloud platforms.

-

Working knowledge of Elasticsearch and log aggregation.

-

Excellent at documenting your own work clearly, and communicating decisions to both engineers and customers.

-

A self-starter and closer, someone who takes ambiguous problems and returns working, shipped solutions, and brings a team along with them.
