About the Product
Our AI-native cloud platform powers intelligent, real-time experiences for enterprise customers at scale. Built on a modern microservices architecture, the platform leverages advanced AI capabilities to process large volumes of data securely and reliably across multiple regions.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain scalable AWS cloud infrastructure supporting containerized microservices.
- Own production Kubernetes environments, including auto-scaling, cost optimization, and runtime security.
- Centralize and clean up CI/CD and GitOps pipelines (ArgoCD or similar), enforce RBAC, and ensure safe, rapid deployments.
- Implement infrastructure as code with Terraform and Terragrunt, enforce PR-based apply flows, and manage state across modules.
- Establish isolated, multi-account setups for production, staging, and operations workloads.
- Deploy and operate multi-region infrastructure to meet per-country data residency and compliance requirements.
- Enhance reliability and observability using consolidated tooling, OpenTelemetry, and incident management best practices.
- Strengthen security posture with secret management, least-privilege access, SSO-as-code, and tenant isolation.
- Support compliance initiatives by implementing practical security controls and maintaining audit readiness.
- Build and optimize infrastructure for LLM-heavy inference workloads, including cost controls and provider failover.
- Automate repetitive operations, author runbooks, and mentor team members on DevOps practices.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering at a staff or equivalent level.
- Proven track record as the lead or sole owner of production infrastructure in a fast-paced environment.
- Extensive hands-on AWS experience in production, including multi-account and multi-region architectures.
- Deep expertise in running and securing Kubernetes on EKS under real-world load conditions.
- Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Terragrunt (CloudFormation experience is a plus).
- Experience with CI/CD and GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux, or similar) and managing RBAC policies.
- Skilled in monitoring and observability platforms such as Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, or BetterStack.
- Proficient in scripting or programming languages (Python, Bash, Go, TypeScript, or similar) for automation tasks.
- Ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues across infrastructure and application layers.
- Experience integrating and leveraging AI-assisted tools to accelerate development, debugging, and documentation.
- High ownership mindset, strong initiative, and the judgment to act with urgency without compromising quality.
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience supporting security compliance programs and external audits.
- Background in handling regulated or sensitive data (children’s data, PII, health, or financial).
- Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architectures and strong tenant isolation strategies.
- Proven infrastructure work for AI or LLM-based products at scale, including GPU clusters.
- Production PostgreSQL operations at scale.
- Familiarity with IaC delivery tools such as Atlantis.
We Offer
