Lead
About the role
- Core reliability and infrastructure
- Own reliability, deployments, observability, and incident response across our AWS environment (Kubernetes/EKS, Datadog, CI/CD, networking), supporting backend, mobile, data, ML, and AI engineering teams.
- Maintain, optimize, and improve our AWS infrastructure footprint to align with industry best standards and scalability requirements.
- Own our infrastructure-as-code stack (Terraform/OpenTofu). Hands-on AWS CDK experience is a strong plus.
- Reduce our dependence on any single vendor by favoring open standards and swappable tooling where it makes sense.
- Take real, hands-on ownership of SOC 2 and PCI-DSS work. Not just documenting controls, but building and operating the systems that make them genuinely true in production.
- Partner directly with our security function to close real gaps as they surface, including network segmentation and traffic inspection.
- CI/CD and deployments
- Make deploys and rollbacks easier, more predictable, and more consistent across the org.
- Consolidate and speed up CI/CD pipelines that currently span multiple tools and are evolving to support services in TypeScript/Node, Python, and Kotlin as our engineering team's specialized use cases grow.
- AI infrastructure and product builds
- Build and extend our internal AI infrastructure: the gateway/middleware layer, MCP integrations, the knowledge graph, and tooling that makes AI use across engineering cheaper, faster, and more accurate.
- Stand up greenfield infrastructure for new products, without inheriting our existing tech debt or migration constraints.
- Across all of itShare a real on-call rotation and absorb interrupt-driven support in a way that protects everyone's ability to also do focused project work.
- Help us get more efficient and cost-effective as we scale, from investigation through implementation.
- Core, non-negotiable
- DevOps/SRE depth and a genuine backend engineering background. You've written and shipped real software, not only infrastructure code. We don't need you to build customer-facing features, but we need you to think like a software engineer when you design platform, tooling, and systems.
- Strong hands-on AWS, plus production experience with observability/monitoring (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or similar), CI/CD, compute, and networking.
- Experience managing Kubernetes clusters in multiple environments.
- Experience with Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code tooling.
- Experience at an early-stage startup where you built DevOps/infra from scratch, or at a company going through a growth stage where you had to scale it under real pressure.
- Real willingness to own compliance work (SOC 2/PCI-DSS), not just support it.
- Strongly preferred
- Experience with AI/LLM tooling, MCP, model gateways, or internal developer platforms for AI.Prior SOC 2 and/or PCI-DSS experience, ideally with a specific control or finding you helped remediate.
- Exposure to security engineering.
- Experience with AWS CDK (especially TypeScript).Experience reducing vendor lock-in or migrating between data stores at scale (for example, NoSQL to relational).
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
