Solace is looking for a Lead Platform Engineer to own our DevOps strategy, architecture, and implementation. You will lead the evolution of our infrastructure, driving the migration from Heroku to AWS while building scalable, secure systems that empower our engineering team.

What You'll Do

Own the DevOps roadmap: Architect and lead the evolution of our infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and developer workflows.
Drive our AWS migration: Seamlessly transition infrastructure from Heroku to AWS with zero downtime, ensuring parity and improving reliability and observability.
Optimize developer experience: Build tools, abstractions, and automated systems that let software engineers focus purely on writing application code.
Enable isolated feature testing: Design and automate the creation/deletion of ephemeral testing environments for every feature branch.
Monitor and optimize performance: Set up end-to-end monitoring and alerting systems, identify performance bottlenecks, and collaborate with engineers to address them before they impact users.
Secure and scale: Build systems that are secure by design, highly available, and prepared for scale as we grow rapidly.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of DevOps/Platform experience.
Expert-level knowledge of AWS services (EC2, ECS, Lambda, CloudFormation, RDS, CloudWatch, etc.).
Track record deploying applications in production environments.
Strong background in setting up CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).
Deep focus on developer enablement.
Experience implementing and scaling monitoring tools/APMs.
Familiarity with Heroku and experience leading large-scale migrations from PaaS to IaaS.
Fluency in scripting/automation (e.g., Bash, Python, Terraform).
Clear communicator who can explain infrastructure tradeoffs and proactively support engineers.
