• Plan and perform zero-downtime Kubernetes upgrades, ensuring compatibility and minimizing disruption across hundreds of services.
• Develop Infrastructure-As-Code using Terraform for provisioning and operating infrastructure in reliable and repeatable fashion.
• Drive improvements across our AWS infrastructure in areas like networking, IAM, cost optimization and monitoring.
• Participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation and be an escalation contact for service incidents.

• You have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of Platform / SRE / Infrastructure experience. 
• Proficient in one major programming language such as Go (preferred), Typescript/Node.js, Python, Rust, C++, etc.
• Proven track record of shipping and maintaining internal platforms / tooling or developer infrastructure used at scale.
• Deep knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
• Shown ability with configuration management and service orchestration tools such as Terraform, Kubernetes, and Docker (EKS preferred).
