About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build, operate, and scale AWS infrastructure that supports our microservices platform.
Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines that make shipping fast, reliable, and safe.
Build reusable, templated configuration (Helm charts, CircleCI orbs) so teams get consistent, standardized deployments and pipelines instead of reinventing them.
Manage infrastructure through code, treating infra changes with the same rigor as application code.
Improve observability and monitoring so teams can understand and debug their systems in production.
Partner with product engineering teams, translating platform concepts into practical guidance and cutting friction from their day-to-day work.
Make and document thoughtful technical trade-offs, and grow into leading complex platform projects end to end.
