The Opportunity
You will own and shape how Praxis designs, governs, secures, and operates AWS at scale—from account structure and identity to the platforms and applications that run on them. You will be a hands-on builder, using your depth in cloud infrastructure and software engineering to create secure, reliable systems that enable our teams to move quickly.
You will work at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure, security, and operations. You will build and improve the systems that keep our teams moving fast while maintaining high standards for reliability, security, and compliance. You will work primarily in TypeScript and Python, use modern AI tooling as part of your daily engineering workflow, and take direct accountability for production operations, including on-call.
You will be expected to see problems, take ownership, and drive them through resolution. You will move quickly through incremental, well-controlled changes, question assumptions when there is a better path, and turn operational learnings into durable improvements. Just as importantly, you will raise the bar for the people and systems around you by sharing what you know, communicating clearly, and helping the broader team build and operate better.
