• Improve system reliability, scalability and availability
  
• Implement monitoring, logging and observability solutions
  
• Troubleshoot infrastructure issues and perform root cause analysis
  
• Support deployments across internal and customer environments
  
• Maintain infrastructure security and cloud IAM standards
  
• Support compute infrastructure used by engineering and AI/ML workloads
  
• Identify infrastructure maintenance requirements proactively
  
• Participate in an on-call rotation for critical incidents
  

Technical Requirements

We are looking for strong hands-on experience with:

• AWS, particularly EC2, EKS, S3, IAM and VPC
