Senior DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer

What you'll do

• Help design and evolve our AWS foundation — account structure, network architecture (VPC, DNS, routing), and IAM — and shape the Terraform conventions the infra team builds on.

• Harden our network's reliability, including the hybrid and on-prem connectivity behind systems that can't go down.

• Operate and evolve our Kubernetes (EKS) clusters and the in-cluster platform services that run on them — ingress, service mesh, autoscaling, and policy.

• Build the observability layer — metrics, logs, traces, and alerting — so teams can see how their systems behave and catch issues before customers do.

• Expand our self-service platform and CI/CD + GitOps automation, so routine changes are safe and repeatable instead of manual and risky.

• Keep security, secrets management, and least-privilege access sane as the platform grows.

• Share in on-call, and bring an SRE mindset to keeping reliability, cost, and toil all trending in the right direction.

Senior-level experience is the one thing we really need.

You've spent several years (typically 5+) building and running production infrastructure or platforms, and you've earned real judgment from owning systems when they broke — not just when they behaved. We care more about how deep that experience runs than where you got it.

You've got hands-on depth in several of these, and pick up the rest fast:

• Cloud infrastructure (we run on AWS)

• Kubernetes in production (we use EKS)

• Infrastructure as code (we use Terraform)

• CI/CD and GitOps-style automated delivery (we use CircleCI and Flux)

• Observability — metrics, logs, traces, and alerting

• Secrets management and secure, least-privilege access

• Networking and Linux fundamentals — TCP/IP, DNS, routing and subnetting, firewalls and security groups, load balancing, and TLS

Nice to have — none required, but any is a welcome bonus:

• General database administration and systems administration experience

• Experience with Kafka or another event-streaming platform

• Experience in regulated environments (e.g., ISO 27001 / SOC 2 certified) or working directly with auditors

• Windows experience — administration, PowerShell, and SQL Server

• Experience with agentic AI tooling and securing agentic workflows

If you're a strong senior engineer excited by this work but coming from an adjacent stack or a less conventional path, we still want to hear from you.
