Responsibilities
Manage and improve our AWS infrastructure. This includes execution, but also taking the initiative to suggest improvements to architecture and cost allocation, as well as leading migration efforts.
Leverage Terraform to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources.
Help us improve our logging, monitoring, visualization, and alerting to better detect and respond to issues more quickly.
Reduce barriers for engineers to deploy and optimize systems, and actively build bridges between security, development, operations, qa, and customer technical support.
Help us refactor our CI/CD out of Jenkins, moving towards reusable pipeline code for developers and QA to self-service their own CI/CD pipelines.
Help our customer support team with technical challenges, creating automation where possible, adding documentation where not.
Develop software for automation, developer tooling, and self-healing systems.
Mentor other cloud engineers, qa engineers, and developers in developing applications in AWS, architecture best practices, and platform engineering.
Requirements
An AWS expert. You’re deeply familiar with many AWS services, cost/value prop of similar services, and how to get the most from them. You’ve handled cross-account EC2, ECS, and RDS migrations in a 0-downtime environment.
Deeply familiar with modern architecture paradigms such as microservices, pub/sub, event-driven, and serverless, as well as the appropriate times to leverage them.
Experienced with leveraging Terraform to automate infrastructure. You’ve integrated Terraform into CI/CD pipelines, and worked in an environment where developers own their own infrastructure.
Experienced with implementing and maintaining container-based systems on EC2 with ECS and EKS
Experienced as a meaningful contributor to a data-driven infrastructure at scale.
Interested in building reusable developer-friendly infrastructure platforms over brittle systems-heavy solutions.
Experienced in helping organizations to shift left, and enabling developers to build and manage their own infrastructure.
