Own and evolve our AWS infrastructure across compute, networking, storage, and managed services
Design and maintain infrastructure that supports high availability, predictable performance, and financial correctness
Lead platform-level architectural decisions, including service migrations and runtime changes (e.g., Redis → Valkey, EKS → ECS/Fargate)
Ensure infrastructure choices align with reliability, cost, and operational simplicity—not just trend adoption
Design and maintain deployment pipelines that are safe, repeatable, and observable
Own system reliability through capacity planning, failure modeling, and controlled change management
Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for infrastructure-level failures
Participate in on-call rotations and continuously improve operational ergonomics
Build and maintain strong observability across infrastructure and services (metrics, logs, tracing, alerting)
Ensure secure configuration of AWS resources, IAM policies, secrets management, and network boundaries
Proactively identify infrastructure risks related to scale, cost, or security and address them before they become incidents
Partner closely with application engineers to ensure platform constraints and capabilities are well understood
Drive infrastructure changes through hands-on implementation
Establish standards and best practices for infrastructure, deployment, and operations as the team grows
Mentor other platform engineers and help raise the overall operational maturity of the organization
