  • Collaborate with platform and infrastructure teams on deployment orchestration, deployment pipelines, and AWS resource management.
  • Contribute to the evolution of Auth's architecture with a focus on operational excellence and long-term maintainability.

  • Have experience with Kubernetes and AWS (or comparable cloud platform) in a production setting.
  • Have solid grasp of observability practices — metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging, and alerting (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
  • Have experience managing database schema migrations safely at scale.
