- Proven experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar tooling.
- Hands-on observability experience with Datadog, Grafana, or similar platforms (metrics, logs, traces, monitors, SLO tracking, and alerting).
- Familiarity with incident management tooling (Incident.io, PagerDuty, or similar) and a track record of leading postmortems.
- Fluency in at least one scripting or automation language (Python, Go, or Bash).
- Strong communication skills, able to present infrastructure risks and architectural trade-offs.

Responsibilities
- Architect and own Built’s core cloud infrastructure on AWS, defining patterns, standards, and systems from EKS/ECS cluster design to VPC topology to IAM governance.
- Lead platform modernization, driving migration and simplification of software delivery lifecycle, rationalizing tooling, and building infrastructure for AI-related product initiatives.
- Own SLOs and SLIs for the platform, defining and instrumenting them in the observability stack, and leading the team in meeting reliability targets.
- Define DevOps engineering standards across the team, including IaC patterns, CI/CD architecture, container orchestration standards, and observability frameworks.
- Drive the platform roadmap in partnership with engineering leadership, balancing foundational investment with immediate delivery needs.
- Lead incident response and postmortems, serving as technical escalation point for complex infrastructure failures, and driving systemic improvements.
- Evaluate and adopt new technologies across the platform stack, making sound build-versus-buy decisions with a clear view of long-term trade-offs and ROI.
