About the role

  • Design, build, and operate scalable, highly available cloud infrastructure primarily on AWS.

  • Define and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, CDK, or Crossplane.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, maintenance, and monitoring to reduce manual effort and improve reliability.
  • Apply best practices around security, observability, and cost optimization across infrastructure and services.
  • Manage and optimize database technologies, with a focus on Amazon RDS and Aurora.
  • Partner with development teams to ensure seamless deployment and integration of new features and updates.

  • 5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or related infrastructure roles.
  • Deep expertise in public cloud platforms, especially AWS, with hands-on experience in services like EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudWatch, and IAM.
  • Strong proficiency with Kubernetes and container orchestration — you’ve run production workloads and understand cluster management, scaling, and troubleshooting.
  • Extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane.
  • Solid scripting or programming skills in languages like Python, Bash, or Go, with a strong focus on automation.
  • Working knowledge of managed database services like Amazon RDS, Aurora, or PostgreSQL is a plus — but infrastructure is your main game.
