    Requirements

    • Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production (EKS preferred)
    • Experience debugging node pressure, networking issues, and deployment failures at scale (thousands of nodes)
    • Strong experience operating production infrastructure on AWS including organizational boundaries, IAM, and networking between many accounts
    • Experience automating infrastructure using Terraform or Terragrunt at scale, including module design and state management
    • Solid understanding of Linux systems (disk, memory, networking, failure modes)
    • Experience supporting stateful systems (databases, queues, storage systems, etc.)
    • Ability to debug and reason about performance and reliability issues in production
    • Comfortable owning systems end-to-end, including on-call responsibilities

    What You'll Do

    • Operating EKS clusters across several environments with Karpenter autoscaling, Cilium networking, and ArgoCD-driven GitOps deployments
    • Managing and evolving a multi AWS account organization, provisioning, networking, access control, and cross-account connectivity
    • Maintaining the Terraform/Terragrunt IaC platform - modules, automated plan-on-PR / apply-on-merge pipelines, and safe patterns for shared infrastructure
    • Improving operational tooling around deploys, schema changes, backups, restores, and incident response
    • Reducing operational load by identifying repeat pain points and eliminating them through code and self-healing automation
    • Optimizing cloud spend as you go
    • Participating in on-call and incident response, with a strong focus on making incidents rarer over time
    • Designing and automating platform layer systems for production

    Nice to Have

    • Experience with GitOps workflows (ArgoCD) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
    • Experience with building AI agent-enabled base-level infra services for fast-moving teams
    • Familiarity with multi-region infrastructure and the consistency/availability tradeoffs
