Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess extensive experience in cloud infrastructure, particularly within the AWS ecosystem. A solid foundation in Linux fundamentals is essential, complemented by strong networking knowledge and an understanding of distributed architectures. Proven experience in owning and managing production environments end-to-end is required. Candidates should have hands-on experience with containerized workloads in production environments, using Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes. Proficiency in Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools is necessary, along with scripting skills in Bash, Python, Go, or equivalent languages. A demonstrated ability to develop scalable, secure, and reliable infrastructure solutions is critical for success in this role.
While not mandatory, experience with tools such as Ansible, Cloudflare, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and observability platforms like Datadog, Splunk, or ELK will be considered advantageous. Exposure to multi-tenant SaaS architectures and previous involvement in cloud migration projects will also be beneficial.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure solutions on AWS, ensuring high availability and resilience.
- Lead the migration of legacy systems into modern, cloud-native architectures, facilitating a seamless transition.
- Develop, maintain, and optimize infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or comparable tools to automate deployment processes.
- Enhance system reliability, observability, and cost-efficiency across multiple environments through continuous improvement initiatives.
- Modernize CI/CD pipelines to enable rapid, safe delivery of updates and features across development, staging, and production environments.
- Support incident response efforts, troubleshoot issues, and improve operational visibility through monitoring, logging, and tracing solutions.
- Mentor junior engineers, promote best practices, and contribute to engineering standards and design reviews to foster a culture of excellence.
