About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and highly available infrastructure on AWS (EKS, EC2, RDS / Aurora Postgres, MSK, S3, VPC, IAM).
Manage and optimize Kubernetes clusters (EKS) across multiple environments, and deploy applications using Argo CD with GitOps best practices.
Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, including reusable workflows, build/push/scan flows for ECR, and frontend deployment pipelines.
Operate and tune Kafka-based event streaming on Amazon MSK for high-throughput, low-latency device data pipelines.
Define and manage Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Terragrunt, with reusable modules, sensible environment separation, and review-friendly plans.
Manage identity and access across platforms with Auth0 / EntraID integrations, IAM roles for service accounts (IRSA), and short-lived credentials.
Build and maintain observability with Grafana, Loki, Prometheus / Mimir, and related tooling so on-call engineers can quickly find and fix issues.
Monitor and optimize infrastructure cost across environments, partnering with engineering teams on right-sizing, capacity planning, and waste reduction.
Partner with our Cloud Security team to enforce security standards, integrate with SIEM tooling, and respond to vulnerabilities and incidents.
Debug complex production issues across infrastructure, deployment, and networking layers, and turn the lessons learned into automation and runbooks.
