## Job Description

## What You’ll Do

### Infrastructure, Platform, and Deployment
- Design, build, and evolve our cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code, focused on scalability, consistency, and ease of use.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe, repeatable deployments.
- Standardize deployment patterns across serverless workloads, containerized services, and workflow orchestration systems.
- Improve how services get provisioned, configured, and deployed so engineers can move fast without adding risk.

### Developer Experience and Enablement
- Build internal tooling and automation that simplifies common workflows for backend and ML teams.
- Improve local and staging environments to cut friction in development and testing.
- Let engineers self-serve infrastructure through well-designed abstractions, templates, and documentation.
- Find and eliminate bottlenecks in the development and deployment lifecycle.

### Observability, Reliability, and Performance
- Define and evolve observability standards across metrics, logs, and tracing, focused on actionable insight.
- Build systems that catch reliability risks, latency regressions, and performance issues before they become problems.
- Partner with engineering teams to investigate and resolve performance bottlenecks across distributed systems, including serverless execution, containers, and Postgres.
- Support incident response and root cause analysis, focused on preventing recurrence through better systems and automation.

### Security, Compliance, and Operational Excellence
- Automate security and compliance workflows: patching, access controls, audit readiness, and vulnerability management.
- Build security and compliance practices into infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
- Take part in the on-call rotation and respond to production issues, focused on restoring service and improving systems over time.
- Contribute to blameless postmortems and make sure learnings show up in tooling, process, and documentation.

- You understand observability tooling, performance debugging, and system behavior under load.
- You can write scripts or services to automate infrastructure and developer workflows.
- You have a high ownership mindset, empathy for teammates, straightforward communication, and a one-team attitude.
- You're comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment with a bias for action and thoughtful engineering judgment.
