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

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

Required:

  • 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.

Preferred:

  • 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.

Why Join Us

  • 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.
