About the role

  • You will take a functional, early-stage platform and scale it into a highly available, multi-environment system, capable of coordinating with edge deployments and supporting distributed workloads.
  • You'll work on infrastructure that must remain reliable while interacting with thousands of nodes across heterogeneous environments, including systems with intermittent connectivity.
  • You'll also help bridge the gap between cloud and edge - enabling synchronization, deployment, and observability across a distributed mesh of systems.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure across AWS and multi-cloud environments.
  • Deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes (EKS and other environments), ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance.
  • Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, enabling repeatable and auditable deployments.
  • Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., CircleCI) to support rapid and reliable software delivery.
  • Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams to ensure services are designed for scalability, resilience, and operability.
  • Support integration with edge-deployed systems, including handling synchronization, connectivity, and deployment workflows across distributed environments.
  • Experience working closely with engineering teams to build internal platforms and developer infrastructure.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, infrastructure or software engineering roles.
  • Strong experience with AWS (e.g., EC2, RDS, autoscaling, networking) in production environments.
  • Proficiency with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools.
  • Experience operating production systems with a focus on reliability, observability, and performance.
  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals and distributed systems behavior.
  • Experience working in multi-cloud environments or supporting deployments across heterogeneous infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes at the edge (e.g., k3s, RKE2) or deploying to constrained/on-prem systems.
  • Deep experience deploying and operating applications on Kubernetes.
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., CircleCI or similar).
  • Desired Qualifications
  • Experience building or operating systems that interact with distributed or intermittently connected nodes.
  • Exposure to GovCloud or regulated environments.

Nice to have

  • Strong scripting skills in Bash
  • proficiency in Python or Go is a plus.
