About the role

  • Design and maintain Pulumi modules that provision reliable, cost-efficient cloud resources
  • Own infrastructure end to end with no clicking through consoles
  • Instrument systems so that failures surface quickly and debugging happens with data, not guesswork
  • Build observability into everything so you know about problems before customers do
  • Automate deployments, scaling, backups, and limit changes; if humans are doing it repeatedly, build a system to do it instead
  • Balance automation intelligently, building solutions to real problems rather than automating for its own sake
  • Help teams design resilient services, review architectures for operational complexity, and build deployment pipelines that enable safe and fast shipping
  • Optimize for cost and performance; CloudZero's business is helping others optimize cloud costs, and we should be exemplars of efficient cloud usage ourselves

  • Excited to take ownership of infrastructure and solve operational challenges at scale
