About this role
Role Overview
- Own and evolve our AWS infrastructure across compute, networking, storage, and managed services
- Design and maintain infrastructure that supports high availability, predictable performance, and financial correctness
- Lead platform-level architectural decisions, including service migrations and runtime changes (e.g., Redis → Valkey, EKS → ECS/Fargate)
- Ensure infrastructure choices align with reliability, cost, and operational simplicity—not just trend adoption
- Design and maintain deployment pipelines that are safe, repeatable, and observable
- Own system reliability through capacity planning, failure modeling, and controlled change management
- Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for infrastructure-level failures
- Participate in on-call rotations and continuously improve operational ergonomics
- Build and maintain strong observability across infrastructure and services (metrics, logs, tracing, alerting)
- Ensure secure configuration of AWS resources, IAM policies, secrets management, and network boundaries
- Proactively identify infrastructure risks related to scale, cost, or security and address them before they become incidents
- Partner closely with application engineers to ensure platform constraints and capabilities are well understood
- Drive infrastructure changes through hands-on implementation
- Establish standards and best practices for infrastructure, deployment, and operations as the team grows
- Mentor other platform engineers and help raise the overall operational maturity of the organization
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience building and operating production infrastructure in cloud environments
- Deep experience with AWS core services (EC2, ECS/EKS, VPC, IAM, RDS, ElastiCache, ALB/NLB, CloudWatch, etc.)
- Strong understanding of containerized workloads and orchestration tradeoffs
- Proven experience designing systems for high availability, fault tolerance, and controlled failure
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent)
- Demonstrated ability to plan and execute infrastructure migrations safely
- Experience debugging real production incidents involving networking, scaling, or service degradation.
