• Participate in incident response, investigate infrastructure issues, and implement long-term improvements to prevent recurring problems.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to identify infrastructure challenges and develop reusable solutions that improve developer productivity.

• Support distributed systems and production workloads across networking, load balancing, databases, caching, queues, workers, and delivery pipelines.

• Contribute to technical decision-making, communicate architectural trade-offs, and take ownership of platform initiatives from design through production operation.

• At least 8 years of experience in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or a related technical discipline.

• Strong hands-on experience managing production infrastructure as code using tools such as AWS CDK, Terraform, or Pulumi.

• Solid working knowledge of AWS services and cloud infrastructure architecture.

• Strong understanding of distributed systems and their core components, including queues, workers, databases, caching, networking, and load balancing.

• Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry.
