About the role
- Design, build, and operate the core infrastructure that powers Owner’s engineering organization, with an emphasis on reliability, security, and ease of use.
- Own and evolve our Kubernetes-based platform on AWS, improving how services are deployed, scaled, monitored, and secured in production.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that are fast, reliable, and easy to reason about by reducing deploy risk while increasing developer confidence and velocity.
- Focus deeply on developer experience: identifying pain points in local development, testing, deployment, and observability, then replacing manual or error-prone workflows with self-service tooling and automation.
- Partner closely with application engineers to set clear patterns and golden paths for how services are built and run at Owner, balancing flexibility with strong, opinionated defaults.
- Strengthen our approach to operational excellence by improving monitoring, alerting, incident response, and post-incident learning.
- Help embed security into our infrastructure and delivery pipelines, ensuring best practices are automated and invisible.
Requirements
- Deep experience operating production systems in the cloud, particularly on AWS, and comfort owning infrastructure that supports critical customer-facing workloads.
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code, ideally using Terraform, to define, version, and manage cloud infrastructure and platform resources in a repeatable, auditable way across environments.
- Worked extensively with Kubernetes in real-world environments, including deploying, operating, and troubleshooting services at scale.
- Strong hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and understand how small workflow decisions can dramatically impact developer velocity and reliability.
- Empathize deeply with developers. You’ve felt the pain of slow builds, brittle deploys, unclear ownership, and noisy alerts—and you’re motivated to eliminate those problems through good system design.
- Think in terms of platforms and leverage: building tools and abstractions that make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard, rather than relying on documentation alone.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking ownership of loosely defined problems, shaping them into concrete systems, standards, and outcomes.
- Communicate clearly and pragmatically, especially when working across teams with different priorities and levels of infrastructure expertise.
