About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Drive self-service and automation by designing golden-path workflows using Terraform and Kubernetes/Docker so product teams can provision infrastructure, integrate monitoring via Datadog, and release safely through GitLab CI/CD.
  • Champion the evolution of deployment patterns on Kubernetes, including blue/green, canary, feature-flag, and immutable-infra releases that minimize risk and MTTR.
  • Lead strategy and execution for disaster recovery on AWS, including multi-region architectures, cross-region data replication (Aurora, DynamoDB, S3), and global traffic management.
  • Implement SLOs, error budgets, chaos testing, and auto-remediation playbooks in Datadog to raise reliability; own the infrastructure on-call rotation culture.
  • Mentor and develop a team of DevOps engineers, DBAs, and SecOps Engineers, cultivating the next wave of engineering leaders.
  • Partner with Product Engineering, Data Team (Airflow, Snowflake, dbt), and stakeholders to align roadmaps and unlock velocity.
  • Contribute hands-on: writing Terraform modules, optimizing Helm charts on Kubernetes, reviewing merge requests in GitLab, supporting Linux infrastructure, and joining high-severity incident calls.

Your Experience

  • 2+ years of DevOps leadership managing DevOps or SRE teams.
  • 7+ years in hands-on platform or infrastructure roles.
  • Strong self-service track record delivering internal platforms that empowered hundreds of engineers to ship autonomously.
  • Large-scale AWS expertise designing and operating multi-region, high-throughput systems supporting over $100M in annual GMV.
  • Expert in advanced CI/CD pipelines and IaC, proficient with GitLab CI, Terraform, Kubernetes; experienced introducing progressive delivery, policy-as-code, and secrets management at scale.
  • Deep understanding of metrics, tracing, logging, and alerting with observability mindset (Datadog or similar).
  • Familiar with cloud security best practices, least-privilege access, and regulated-data environments (PCI, SOC 2, GDPR).
  • Empathetic leadership fostering psychological safety, inclusion, continuous feedback, accountability, and high performance.
