You'll work closely with our DevOps and platform team, most directly with your manager, to keep deployment, observability, and cloud infrastructure running smoothly day to day as we scale. THE ROLE As DevOps Engineer II, you'll own the steady-state reliability of our infrastructure: keeping CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments, and monitoring running smoothly so the rest of engineering can move fast without friction. This is an execution-focused role. Speed and reliable day-to-day operation matter more here than deep architectural ownership. You'll work in close partnership with your manager, ramping up on our existing systems over time, which frees him to focus on higher-value security and architecture projects. You'll report to [Head of Engineering, confirm]. This is you if you want to build real depth in production infrastructure, you don't need to walk in an expert on day one, and you're excited to grow into more ownership as you learn our systems. This is you! HOW YOU'LL BE SUCCESSFUL * Maintain: our CI/CD pipelines and containerized infrastructure (Docker, ECS/ECR Fargate, Terraform), keeping deployments fast and reliable day to day * Monitor: cloud infrastructure on AWS, catching and resolving issues before they affect customers * Support: incident response, helping triage and resolve production issues as they come up * Execute: steady-state maintenance and operational work, freeing up senior team members to focus on architecture and security priorities * Ramp: into our existing systems and tooling, building depth over time as ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [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) - [JavaScript?
