• Optimize System Performance: Continuously assess and improve system design and operational practices to ensure efficiency and uptime across the board.
• Uplevel Team Standards: Identify process gaps and contribute to the evolution of infrastructure engineering practices and documentation.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Engage with product, engineering, and security stakeholders to ensure infrastructure meets technical and business needs.

• 5+ years of experience in infrastructure or DevOps roles, with a strong focus on AWS.
• Infrastructure & Systems Expertise: Deep understanding of server, storage, and network virtualization. Experienced in designing fault-tolerant, containerized applications using cloud-native patterns and components.
• Cloud Fluency: Hands-on expertise with AWS services and cloud architecture. Capable of designing scalable environments with services like EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, Lambda, VPC, and more.
• IaC & Automation Mastery: Proficient with both AWS CDK and Terraform. Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines and automating cloud deployments with tools like GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar.
• Observability Mindset: Practical experience with monitoring and logging platforms such as DataDog, Honeycomb, or Kloudfuse, and leading successful migrations from legacy systems.
• Engineering Best Practices: Applies best-in-class system design principles. Writes modular, testable, and well-documented infrastructure code with an eye toward cost-efficiency and maintainability.
