About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and enforce infrastructure-as-code best practices using AWS CDK, ensuring all cloud resources are version-controlled, repeatable, and peer-reviewed.
Architect and manage AWS infrastructure including ECS, RDS Aurora, API Gateway, S3, and networking — optimizing for reliability, performance, and cost.
Build and maintain a comprehensive observability stack: structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics dashboards, and alerting using Datadog.
Establish and run on-call processes, incident response playbooks, and post-mortem practices that improve system resilience over time.
Optimize RDS Aurora and ECS resources for performance, availability, and cost — right-sizing instances, tuning queries, and managing scaling policies.
Own cloud spend management: implement tagging strategies, cost allocation, budgets, and regular reviews to keep infrastructure costs accountable.
Harden cloud security posture: manage IAM policies, network segmentation, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance controls.
Improve developer experience by streamlining CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and local development tooling.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong experience with AWS services in production: ECS, RDS Aurora, S3, API Gateway, IAM, VPC networking, and related services.
Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools, particularly AWS CDK (Golang).
Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring: Datadog (or similar platforms like Grafana, New Relic), structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting.
Solid understanding of relational databases in production: query optimization, connection management, replication, failover, and backup strategies for Aurora/PostgreSQL.
Experience managing containerized workloads: ECS, container image pipelines, service discovery, and scaling.
Comfortable with Golang — enough to read, debug, and contribute to backend services when needed.
Strong grasp of cloud security fundamentals: least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation.
Experience with on-call rotations, incident management, and building runbooks that reduce mean time to resolution.
Clear communication: you’ll work directly with backend, platform, and product engineers to translate infrastructure needs into reliable solutions.
