About the role
- Maintain and scale Kubernetes (EKS) clusters — managing workloads, deployments, and monitoring at production scale.
- Manage and evolve our AWS (and some GCP) cloud environments, balancing reliability, cost, and velocity.
- Own and improve our CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions on our self-hosted AWS runners).
- Define and implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Terragrunt.
- Strengthen observability via Datadog and enable teams to understand their systems in production.
- Collaborate with Product Engineers to deploy and monitor production services.
- Drive FinOps practices: vendor management, cost allocation, and financial feedback loops.
- Contribute to internal tooling, automation, and reporting platforms that improve developer experience.
Requirements
- Deep hands-on DevOps / SRE / Platform experience in a SaaS or high-traffic product environment.

- Proficiency with Terraform / Terragrunt, Linux, and Python scripting.
- Strong understanding of CI/CD design patterns.
- Experience with Datadog or similar observability tooling.
- Comfortable operating autonomously in ambiguous environments.
