- Proven experience designing and operating production Kubernetes environments at scale.
- Deep hands-on expertise with Amazon Web Services infrastructure and cloud networking.
- Strong experience building and maintaining Terraform modules across large cloud environments.
- Demonstrated ownership of continuous integration and continuous delivery systems and measurable improvement of DORA metrics.
- Experience leading incident response processes and driving meaningful postmortem outcomes.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures using Kafka, and database performance with PostgreSQL.
- Proven ability to modernize legacy infrastructure and eliminate manual operational toil.
- Track record of taking a scoped infrastructure project from an ambiguous starting point to production without needing daily direction.

- Implement disaster recovery planning, backup strategies, and multi-region resilience initiatives.
- Refactor brittle or manually managed infrastructure into automated, testable, and reproducible systems.
- Introduce infrastructure tooling or architectural shifts and drive adoption through documentation, workshops, and hands-on support.
- Partner with engineering teams to eliminate friction in continuous integration and continuous delivery, deployments, and cloud environments.
- Communicate technical trade-offs clearly across engineering and product stakeholders, balancing speed with safety.
- Maintain or exceed defined service-level objective and service-level agreement targets while reducing incident frequency and duration.
- Reduce production incidents caused by misconfiguration, manual processes, or infrastructure drift.
- Increase the percentage of infrastructure managed through code and automation.
- Improve cloud cost efficiency without sacrificing reliability or performance.
Desired Qualifications

- Experience operating high-throughput Kafka clusters, either Amazon MSK or self-managed.
- Strong background in database performance tuning with PostgreSQL or Redis.
- Experience implementing autoscaling strategies for high-traffic systems.
- Familiarity with service mesh technologies.
- Experience building internal developer platforms.
- Background in security best practices, including zero-trust networking and policy-as-code.
