Own the release cycle: Drive the weekly releases from branch cut to full production rollout. Manage phased deployment across rc, preview, general, and cautious tracks using Terraform and internal tooling — balancing speed with the stability our customers depend on.
Keep production healthy: Deploy configuration changes to a global fleet of clusters, resolve Terraform drift, and ensure every cluster stays within its maintenance and certificate windows.
Run the rotation: Each week one engineer shields the team from operational noise — that's you, on rotation. Triage the Linear queue daily, route issues to the right team, investigate customer-reported cluster problems, and facilitate the weekly Production Ops meeting.
Own CI health: Keep the master branch green across all EngFlow-managed repositories. Hunt down flaky tests, fix what you can, and leave good context for what you can't.
Be the connective tissue during incidents: Coordinate between engineers when production issues escalate. Deploy hotfixes and configuration changes within agreed maintenance windows, without dropping the ball on the rest of the week.
Make the next release easier than the last: Improve runbooks, sharpen the handover process, and reduce toil — not just for yourself, but for every engineer who comes after you on rotation.

Release & deployment experience: You've owned production deployments for a distributed or cloud-hosted service — you know what a bad rollout looks like and how to catch it early.
Infrastructure as code: Hands-on Terraform experience in AWS, GCP, and other cloud providers. You're comfortable reading a plan, spotting drift, and making a call on whether to apply or revert.
Build system familiarity: You can read a Bazel, Gradle, Maven, or CMake build and understand what's happening. You don't need to be a compiler engineer, but build failures shouldn't be a black box.
CI/CD operations: Experience keeping a CI system healthy — investigating failures, managing flaky tests, and understanding the difference between a systemic problem and a one-off.
Linux & shell: The shell is your natural habitat for log analysis, scripting, and debugging production issues.
Async communication: Strong written English — you write clear updates, handover summaries, and runbooks that people actually read.
Ownership of outcomes: Comfortable being the person the team leans on for a week at a time, and escalating when you need help.
