Requirements
- 8+ years of high-impact experience in DevOps, Platform, or Infrastructure roles, with a proven history of designing and operating large-scale, multi-account production systems on AWS.
- Deep expertise in system-level programming and architectural design in languages such as Go or Python, used to engineer internal infrastructure platforms and APIs.
- Proven track record of owning critical outcomes end-to-end across multiple functions and driving results with multi-departmental impact.
- Ability to think strategically across functions, connecting technology decisions to company objectives and translating abstract concepts into clear, actionable engineering plans.
- Expert-level knowledge of IaC (Terraform strongly preferred) and hands-on experience designing and operating container orchestration systems (Kubernetes/EKS).
- Demonstrated experience serving as a trusted technical advisor and driving change on cross-functional initiatives across a large group of stakeholders.
- Experience developing and evangelizing an Infrastructure as a Product (IaaP) or Internal Developer Platform (IDP) strategy.
Responsibilities
- Platform Strategy & Architecture: Define and drive the multi-year roadmap for the cloud infrastructure platform, making high-stakes, strategic decisions around performance, cost, and maintainability. Serve as the ultimate domain expert for critical systems.
