- Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and logging strategies to proactively identify and resolve system issues

- Partner with engineering and data teams to support containerized workloads and Kubernetes-based services (Amazon EKS)

- Optimize cloud infrastructure for cost, performance, and scalability using metrics, forecasting, and usage analysis

- Champion cloud security best practices, IAM design, and infrastructure governance in partnership with security stakeholders

- Evaluate, recommend, and implement new tools and services that improve platform reliability and developer experience

- Mentor and support other DevOps engineers through technical guidance, reviews, and knowledge sharing

- Participate in a light on-call rotation and help mature operational processes and runbooks

- A team-first mindset and commitment to building inclusive, scalable engineering practices

REQUIREMENTS

- 8+ years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud infrastructure, with significant experience in AWS

- Deep expertise in AWS services, including compute, networking, storage, and security (EC2, ECS/EKS, VPC, IAM, RDS, etc.)

- Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code using tools such as Terraform and CloudFormation

- Extensive experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI

- Solid experience supporting Kubernetes-based workloads, including Amazon EKS
