About the Role

Own day-to-day operations and maintenance of our AWS environment, including EKS cluster management, EC2, RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, S3, and IAM.

Responsibilities

• Manage deployments of new features and fixes, coordinating with application teams through structured intake and ad hoc request processes
• Build and maintain reusable Terraform modules, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipeline templates (GitLab CI) that enforce organizational standards for scalability, compliance, and observability
• Diagnose cross-cutting infrastructure issues — networking misconfigurations, IAM permission boundaries, Kubernetes scheduling failures — evaluating blast radius and downstream impact before proposing solutions
• Partner with application teams to translate platform changes and new standards into clear, actionable guidance that reduces friction across the organization

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering
• Strong proficiency in Linux administration in production environments, including RHEL-based system management
• Proven hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS preferred), Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI or comparable tooling
• Experience deploying and managing infrastructure in AWS
• Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate platform changes into clear guidance for application teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with configuration management and automation tooling (Ansible, AWX, and Packer)
• Familiarity with Python or shell scripting for operational tooling, or experience with Datadog or a comparable observability platform
• Exposure to AWS Bedrock or AI agent development in an infrastructure context
