Staff Infrastructure Engineer

Responsibilities

• Architect and own the cloud platform used by engineers to deploy services.
• Improve deployment architecture and blast-radius containment through per-service deploy isolation and functional-area slices.
• Own the ECS and EKS footprint, evaluate broader EKS adoption for AI workloads, and design inter-service network connectivity.
• Engineer capacity and autoscaling for spiky workloads, including proactive capacity floors and early drift detection.
• Build a Terraform self-service infrastructure platform with guardrails for standard engineering changes.
• Establish per-team cost attribution and controls across AWS, Datadog, and LLM spending.
• Own Python runtime performance and dependency health, including garbage collection, event-loop contention, runtime limits, framework upgrades, and package upgrades.
• Drive technical decisions across teams and improve engineering practices through architecture reviews, runbooks, and paved-road tooling.

Requirements

• 8+ years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles at companies with significant production traffic.
• Deep AWS expertise and production ownership of compute and networking at scale, including ECS, EKS, RDS, networking, and IAM.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code experience, particularly Terraform, including self-service platforms for engineering teams.
• Hands-on autoscaling and capacity engineering experience.
• Container orchestration experience with ECS and/or EKS.
• Track record of making deployments safe and self-service for other teams.
• Staff-level influence, with the ability to drive cross-team decisions without management authority.

Nice to Have

• FinOps and cloud cost optimization experience.
• Kubernetes and EKS depth.
• Observability tooling at scale, particularly Datadog.
• Experience in healthcare or other regulated environments.
• Experience with event-driven systems.
