## Job Description

## What you’ll do

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

### Developer Experience and Enablement

- Improve local and staging environments to reduce friction in development and testing.
- Enable engineers to self-serve infrastructure through well-designed abstractions, templates, and documentation.
- Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the development and deployment lifecycle.

### Observability, Reliability, and Performance
- Define and evolve observability standards across metrics, logs, and tracing with a focus on actionable insights and system behavior.
- Build systems that proactively detect reliability risks, latency regressions, and performance issues.
- Partner with engineering teams to investigate and resolve performance bottlenecks across distributed systems, including serverless execution, containers, and Postgres.
- Support incident response and contribute to root cause analysis, with a focus on preventing recurrence through better systems and automation.

### Security, Compliance, and Operational Excellence
- Automate security and compliance workflows, including patching, access controls, audit readiness, and vulnerability management.
- Embed security and compliance best practices into infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
- Participate in the on-call rotation and respond to production issues with a focus on restoring service and improving systems over time.
- Contribute to blameless postmortems and ensure learnings are reflected in tooling, processes, and documentation.

## What we’re looking for
- 5+ years of professional engineering experience in a B2B, SaaS company.
- Strong experience building and operating production systems in cloud environments, ideally AWS.
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (for example, Terraform), CI/CD systems, and modern deployment workflows.
- Experience working with serverless compute patterns, containerized services, distributed workflows, and Postgres.
- Solid understanding of observability tooling, performance debugging, and system behavior under load.
- Ability to write scripts or services to automate infrastructure and developer workflows.
- A high ownership mindset, empathy for teammates, straightforward communication, and a one-team attitude.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with a bias for action and thoughtful engineering judgment.
