Own our platform foundations end-to-end — from AWS architecture and IaC to CI/CD, observability, and incident readiness
Build and evolve secure, scalable AWS infrastructure (networking, compute, storage, IAM) optimized for reliability and cost
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines on GitHub that are fast, repeatable, and developer-friendly (clear feedback loops, safe deploys, strong defaults)
Define and operate infrastructure using Terraform — with clean modules, sensible standards, and automated validation
Improve developer experience through golden paths: templates, self-service environments, paved roads for deployments, and internal tooling that removes friction
Drive availability, scalability, and resilience : deployment strategies, rollbacks, capacity planning, DR thinking, and performance tuning
Implement pragmatic security-by-default : least privilege IAM, secrets management, secure supply chain, and guardrails that enable speed without compromising safety
Establish and refine observability and reliability practices (SLOs/SLIs, monitoring, alerting, postmortems, runbooks) that scale with the team
Partner closely with product engineering to reduce operational load and keep delivery velocity high as Zalion grows.

Strong experience as a Platform / DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer in product teams shipping to production
Deep practical knowledge of AWS : networking, IAM, security controls, and designing for failure
Hands-on expertise with Terraform : modules, state strategy, DRY patterns, environment separation, and automated reviews
Solid CI/CD engineering experience with GitHub : pipeline design, artifact/versioning, deployment safety, and fast feedback loops
A strong mindset for reliability and operability : you think in failure modes, automation, and measurable outcomes (SLOs)
Security awareness and discipline: you build guardrails that make the secure path the easy path
A builder mindset : you ship improvements, measure impact (lead time, deploy frequency, MTTR), and iterate
Comfort with ambiguity and ownership : you proactively identify platform bottlenecks and fix them without waiting for perfect specs
4+ years experience in relevant roles (startup/scale-up experience is a plus).
