What you will be doing
This is not a standard DevOps posting. We are looking for one unusually capable, AI-native engineer to own our entire platform engineering and SRE function — using autonomous agents, LLM-powered pipelines, and MCP-based tooling as force multipliers to do the work of a team, on-site, in close partnership with our engineering leadership.

- Deep AWS expertise: EKS, EC2, SQS, CloudWatch, IAM, Organizations, and multi-account architectures
- Strong Experience with Infrastructure as code tools like terraform or cloudformation
- Strong Kubernetes skills: cluster operations, node group management, workload isolation, taints/tolerations, auto-scaling
- Experience with Akamai or equivalent enterprise CDN — configuration, purge operations, traffic routing rules
- CI/CD ownership: GitHub Actions and/or Jenkins pipeline design, monorepo build systems, release gating
- Production experience building or operating AI agents — LLM integration, autonomous workflow design, prompt engineering
- Proficiency in Node.js and/or Python for automation, tooling, and MCP server development
- Observability stack ownership: Elastic/Kibana, log analysis, alerting design, SLO/SLI instrumentation
- Comfortable owning on-call responsibility for a production e-commerce platform with significant revenue exposure
- Strong written and verbal communication, will interface with engineering leadership and present findings to executives
