We care more about how deep that experience runs than where you got it. You've got hands-on depth in several of these, and pick up the rest fast: * Cloud infrastructure (we run on AWS) * Kubernetes in production (we use EKS) * Infrastructure as code (we use Terraform) * CI/CD and GitOps-style automated delivery (we use CircleCI and Flux) * Observability - metrics, logs, traces, and alerting * Secrets management and secure, least-privilege access * Networking and Linux fundamentals - TCP/IP, DNS, routing and subnetting, firewalls and security groups, load balancing, and TLS Nice to have - none required, but any is a welcome bonus: * General database administration and systems administration experience * Experience with Kafka or another event-streaming platform * Experience in regulated environments (e.g., ISO 27001 / SOC 2 certified) or working directly with auditors * Windows experience - administration, PowerShell, and SQL Server * Experience with agentic AI tooling and securing agentic workflows If you're a strong senior engineer excited by this work but coming from an adjacent stack or a less conventional path, we still want to hear from you. ## Description * Help design and evolve our AWS foundation - account structure, network architecture (VPC, DNS, routing), and IAM - and shape the Terraform conventions the infra team builds on. * Harden our network's reliability, including the hybrid and on-prem connectivity behind systems that can't go down. * Operate and evolve our Kubernetes (EKS) clusters and the in-cluster platform services that run on them - ingress, service mesh, autoscaling, and policy. * Build the observability layer - metrics, logs, traces, and alerting - so teams can see how their systems behave and catch issues before customers do. * Expand our self-service platform and CI/CD + GitOps automation, so routine changes are safe and repeatable instead of manual and risky. * Keep security, secrets management, and least-privilege access sane as the platform grows. * Share in on-call, and bring an SRE mindset to keeping reliability, cost, and toil all trending in the right direction. ## Related Videos - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is AI turning Junior Developers into an endangered species?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/501-is-ai-turning-junior-developers-into-an-endangered-species) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
