• Own a core infrastructure product or subsystem end to end, including design, implementation, deployment, operation, and ongoing improvement.

• Define project objectives and measurable success criteria, align technical initiatives with broader business goals, and proactively identify risks.

• Translate product requirements and technical specifications into pragmatic designs that address important edge cases without unnecessary complexity.

• Build and maintain secure, resilient, high-performing, and cost-efficient infrastructure supporting diverse applications and workloads.

• Design, develop, and ship software and developer-facing tooling that improves engineering productivity and reduces operational toil.

• Manage infrastructure through code and configuration, primarily using Terraform, while maintaining consistency with broader architectural patterns.

• Partner with product engineering teams to design services for scalability, resolve ambiguous technical requirements, and collaborate directly with stakeholders.

• Participate in incident response and apply systematic debugging techniques to diagnose issues within your area and across interconnected services.

• Improve monitoring and observability while using operational data to identify opportunities for better stability, performance, and reliability.

• Apply a security-first mindset to infrastructure and software development, proactively identifying vulnerabilities in your own work and during peer reviews.

• Serve as a technical resource for complex infrastructure challenges and mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and design discussions.

• Facilitate collaboration across engineering and other stakeholder groups on technical architecture, processes, and infrastructure priorities.

Requirements

• 6–10 years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering within primarily cloud-based environments, preferably AWS.

• Demonstrated experience owning a significant product, platform component, or subsystem from initial design through production operation and ongoing evolution.

• T-shaped technical expertise, with deep specialization in one or two infrastructure domains combined with enough breadth to navigate and contribute across the wider technology stack.

• Strong hands-on experience managing infrastructure through code and configuration using Terraform or an equivalent infrastructure-as-code solution.

• Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure fundamentals, including networking, load balancing, containerization, Kubernetes/EKS, and distributed systems.

• Strong programming skills in Go, Python, or a comparable language, with the ability to build and maintain production-ready software.

• Hands-on experience operating Redis or ElastiCache in production, including cluster and shard management, failover behavior, memory eviction policies, and scaling strategies.

• Experience with observability technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or comparable platforms, together with practical knowledge of performance tuning and incident management.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including source control, code review, comprehensive testing, edge-case handling, and safe deployment practices.

• High level of ownership and autonomy, with demonstrated ability to work effectively when requirements are incomplete or ambiguous.

• Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to explain technical decisions clearly and bring engineers and stakeholders together around solutions.

• Strong written and spoken English, including experience producing technical design documents, reviewing pull requests, and communicating project or operational updates.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation aligned with the hiring location, experience, skills, and market conditions.
