What you'll do
- Run and scale production AWS and EKS, including cluster lifecycle, autoscaling, and platform add-ons (ingress, DNS, certificates, secrets).
- Manage cloud and cluster configuration declaratively with Terraform, Helm, Kustomize, eksctl and GitOps.
- Ship through GitHub Actions and GitOps (Argo CD / Flux), with automated build, test, and dependency gating.
- Handle SAST/DAST scanning, secrets management, and least-privilege IAM (IRSA), plus routine dependency and vulnerability remediation.
- Own metrics, logs, and traces across Datadog and Sentry.
- Operate PostgreSQL, MongoDB / Atlas, OpenSearch / Elasticsearch, and Temporal.
- Build automation and internal tooling in Python, Bash, Go, and Node.js / TypeScript; containerize with Docker.
What you bring
- 5+ years running AWS and Kubernetes in production (EKS preferred), including platform add-ons and AWS-native integration.
- Strong with Terraform and Kubernetes manifests (Helm, Kustomize), plus GitOps delivery (Argo CD and/or Flux).
- Security mindset: SAST/DAST, secrets management, least-privilege IAM, and vulnerability management.
- Observability with metrics, logs, and traces using Datadog, Sentry, or equivalents.
- Programming experience with Node.js / TypeScript and Python, plus Bash scripting on Linux.
- Experience with PostgreSQL and MongoDB; messaging/workflows with Temporal.
- Git / GitHub workflows and a documentation-first, async communication style.
- Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, routing, load balancing.
Bonus experience
- AI / ML infrastructure (model-training pipelines, vector search).
- Cloud cost and capacity management at scale.
- Compliance-sensitive environments (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).
