You’ll work on infrastructure that must remain reliable while interacting with thousands of nodes across heterogeneous environments, including systems with intermittent connectivity.
You will design and operate cloud infrastructure across AWS and multi-cloud environments, build and maintain Kubernetes-based deployment systems, and ensure that our platform can scale, recover, and evolve as usage grows. You’ll also help bridge the gap between cloud and edge — enabling synchronization, deployment, and observability across a distributed mesh of systems.
This role combines platform engineering, deployment engineering, and SRE, with a strong emphasis on building systems that actually run in production — not just in ideal cloud conditions.
What You’ll Do
Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure across AWS and multi-cloud environments.
Deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes (EKS and other environments), ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance.
Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, enabling repeatable and auditable deployments.
Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., CircleCI) to support rapid and reliable software delivery.
Implement and operate observability systems (metrics, logs, tracing) to monitor system health and performance.
Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams to ensure services are designed for scalability, resilience, and operability.
Support integration with edge-deployed systems, including handling synchronization, connectivity, and deployment workflows across distributed environments.
Debug and resolve production issues across cloud infrastructure, networking, and application layers.
Contribute to best practices around security, reliability, and performance across the platform.
Qualifications
5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, infrastructure or software engineering roles.
Strong experience with AWS (e.g., EC2, RDS, autoscaling, networking) in production environments.
Deep experience deploying and operating applications on Kubernetes.
Proficiency with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools.
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., CircleCI or similar).
Strong scripting skills in Bash; proficiency in Python or Go is a plus.
Experience operating production systems with a focus on reliability, observability, and performance.
Strong understanding of networking fundamentals and distributed systems behavior.
Desired Qualifications
Experience working in multi-cloud environments or supporting deployments across heterogeneous infrastructure.
Familiarity with Kubernetes at the edge (e.g., k3s, RKE2) or deploying to constrained/on-prem systems.
Experience building or operating systems that interact with distributed or intermittently connected nodes.
Exposure to GovCloud or regulated environments.
Experience working closely with engineering teams to build internal platforms and developer infrastructure.
