What your team does:

Who you are:

You’re an experienced cloud engineer who thrives on building infrastructure that just works - scalable, secure, and self-healing.

Enhance observability and reliability, refining alerting, monitoring, and incident response.
Lead cloud optimization projects, improving performance, cost efficiency, and security posture.
Mentor and guide team members, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
Partner with Security, MLOps, and Product Engineering teams to deliver scalable, resilient, and compliant systems.

What you may have:

Deep experience designing, deploying, and operating AWS infrastructure and managed services (like RDS, EKS, Lambda) at scale.
Strong expertise with Terraform and infrastructure automation.
A strong foundation with coding skills either with application development, or building automation and tooling.
Proficiency in container orchestration and cluster management.
Experience with CI/CD systems such as Buildkite, GitHub Actions, etc.
Familiarity with observability platforms (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, etc.).
Familiarity with Linux systems administration, networking, and observability tooling.
Demonstrate a keen interest in improving your craft by using AI.
Excellent communication and documentation abilities, with a focus on knowledge sharing and team collaboration
Growth mindset when it comes to process improvement and new technologies, especially AI.

Serious bonus points if you have:

Experience with Kubernetes (EKS) on AWS in production environments.
Expertise with best practices for managing and securing Cloud environments at scale.
Prior experience in platform engineering or developer productivity teams.
Prior experience working with software teams building and shipping applications to the Cloud.
Hands-on experience managing and scaling distributed data stores (e.g., MySQL/Aurora) at scale, including troubleshooting database bottlenecks and implementing robust backup and disaster recovery strategies.
