About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Drive the stability and reliability of Epic's GCP infrastructure—setting and tracking SLOs/SLIs, reducing toil, and engineering out recurring sources of instability
Build and operate Epic's GCP infrastructure for high availability, scalability, and cost efficiency
Manage and harden our Docker and GKE container platform, including workload scheduling, autoscaling, networking, and graceful failure handling
Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, safe, low-risk delivery across engineering teams
Own and evolve the observability stack—metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts—so that signals are actionable, noise is low, and on-call has the context to resolve issues quickly
Write and maintain Terraform to codify infrastructure across the organization, with a focus on consistency, change safety, and reproducibility
Contribute to capacity planning, cost optimization, and architectural reviews, with reliability as a first-class consideration
Champion platform security best practices, including secrets management, IAM policies, and network segmentation
Support compliance-aware infrastructure practices—vulnerability management, access reviews, audit-evidence flows, and incident-response readiness—as we mature our SOC 2 and student-data compliance programs
Partner with data engineering to operate the orchestration platform and supporting infrastructure—deployment, scaling, reliability, and observability
Collaborate with backend and data engineers to troubleshoot service and platform issues
Lead by example in a frequent on-call rotation; drive incident response, blameless post-mortems, and the follow-through that turns one-time outages into systemic, lasting reliability improvements
Provide guidance to developers on infrastructure concerns and best practices

Requirements
