The role focuses on AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes, automation, and deployment workflows, while helping engineering teams deliver changes reliably across the regions where the platform runs.

Responsibilities - Design, deploy, and improve scalable, resilient cloud-native infrastructure for applications and internal services. - Improve development and release workflows so engineers can deploy reliably and with confidence. - Create platform telemetry to understand how effectively infrastructure supports engineering teams. - Build reusable infrastructure modules and compositions for use across engineering. - Promote infrastructure as code, platform automation, and CI/CD practices. - Evaluate infrastructure technologies and document platform practices and decisions.

Requirements - At least five years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or a related field. - Practical experience with AWS, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD. - Go programming experience; familiarity with Python is useful. - Ability to design solutions, troubleshoot complex problems, and prioritize concurrent work. - Strong written and verbal communication, including technical documentation. - Familiarity with tools in areas such as Terraform or Crossplane, GitLab CI, Ansible, secrets management, containers, and observability.
