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
