Requirements
- 10+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or closely related disciplines.
- Demonstrated experience operating high-traffic production systems.
- Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production.
- Proven experience operating software in environments outside your direct control, such as BYOC, private cloud, single-tenant, on-premises, or air-gapped environments.
- Advanced AWS expertise; familiarity with GCP and Azure is a plus.
- Strong Terraform experience, including reusable modules, secure state management, and multi-account cloud architectures.
- Significant database expertise, particularly with PostgreSQL, including performance optimization, migrations under load, replication, and production operations.
- Practical experience with security and compliance programs such as SOC 2 or ISO audits, penetration tests, and enterprise security reviews.
- Product-oriented mindset with strong developer empathy and the ability to turn customer problems into technical solutions.
- Familiarity with TypeScript and Node.js is beneficial.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a remote-first, distributed environment.
Responsibilities
- Own and scale the cloud infrastructure supporting the platform, including compute, networking, storage, and core data services.
- Lead the development and productization of BYOC and private cloud deployments, including provisioning, upgrades, observability, and operational scalability.
- Build and evolve infrastructure-as-code and GitOps foundations that enable a small engineering team to deploy safely and efficiently.
- Establish reliability as a core product capability by defining meaningful service-level objectives, improving observability, and developing trusted incident response processes.
- Lead the infrastructure and operational strategy for Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, and other critical data systems as usage grows.
- Own infrastructure-related security and compliance initiatives, including SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, penetration testing, and enterprise security reviews.
- Design scalable Terraform modules, multi-account cloud architectures, and safe infrastructure state-management practices.
- Operate and improve production Kubernetes environments while making pragmatic decisions about when alternative technologies are more appropriate.
- Support software deployments in customer-controlled environments, including single-tenant, on-premises, air-gapped, and other constrained environments.
- Collaborate directly with customers and engineering teams to understand infrastructure challenges and turn customer needs into practical technical solutions.
