Requirements
- 6+ years in platform engineering, SRE, or infrastructure — with meaningful time operating production systems at scale
- Deep IaC expertise — you design Terraform architectures, not just write modules; you've managed complex state and multi-account configurations in production
- Strong GitOps background — you understand declarative infrastructure management at depth and have opinions on how to do it well
- Deep Kubernetes knowledge — you've operated clusters in production, dealt with real failure modes, and understand the system at the control plane level
- Strong AWS background — networking, compute, IAM, storage, multi-account design
- Experience with multi-tenant infrastructure — isolation patterns, noisy neighbor mitigation, and tenant lifecycle management
- Automation-first thinking at a senior level — you design systems that eliminate entire categories of manual work, not just individual tasks
- Active user of agentic coding tools — you know how to direct them effectively, review their output critically, and use them to multiply your output
- Reliability engineering track record — SLOs defined and measured, post-mortems run, measurable improvements driven
- Strong communicator — you can make architectural decisions legible to engineers and leadership alike
Nice to Have
- Experience with Karpenter and node lifecycle management in production
- Background in FinOps — cost attribution, reserved capacity planning, workload right-sizing
- Familiarity with data infrastructure — object storage, CDC pipelines, or lakehouse patterns
- Experience supporting AI/ML inference workloads or GPU-based compute in production
- Prior experience scaling platform infrastructure at a startup moving toward enterprise-grade requirements
Additional Information
- Work hours aligned with EST or PST
