• Define and implement infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or AWS CDK.

• Drive observability and performance monitoring strategies using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or CloudWatch.

• Champion DevOps culture across the organization and mentor other engineers on cloud-native best practices. 

• Develop and maintain disaster recovery and business continuity strategies. 

• Conduct architecture reviews, performance tuning, and capacity planning.

• Stay up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies, proactively recommending improvements.
   

• 8+ years of experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or site reliability engineering roles.

• Strong expertise with AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, IAM, VPC, RDS, S3, etc.).

• Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS) in production environments.

• Proficient in infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or AWS CDK.

• Experience with microservices and distributed systems architectures.

• Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g., Python, Bash, Go). 

• Proven experience with monitoring, logging, and observability systems.

• Solid understanding of networking, security, and cloud infrastructure best practices.

• Experience in a high-scale, SaaS or cloud-native environment.

• Familiarity with service meshes (e.g., Istio, Linkerd) and container runtimes.

• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and tools such as GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or Jenkins.

• AWS Certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer) are a plus.
   

• Work on cutting-edge cloud infrastructure and architecture.

• Make a real impact on how we scale and ship reliable services.

• Collaborate with a team of passionate engineers in a culture of learning and growth.

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package.
