Job Level
About the role
- Lead the design and buildout of Kubernetes-based infrastructure on AWS (EKS), including cluster architecture, networking, observability, and developer workflows
- Own Terraform codebases across the platform - define module standards, enforce best practices, and drive adoption of infrastructure-as-code across teams
- Partner with engineering leads to assess, plan, and execute infrastructure modernization initiatives - turning ambiguous requirements into structured delivery milestones
- Act as a technical advisor across the organization, helping teams make informed architecture decisions around compute, networking, and deployment strategy
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines with a focus on deployment safety, speed, and audibility (GitHub Actions)
