## About the Role

* A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering.
 * Deep AWS fluency (IAM, VPC and networking, ECS, Lambda, S3) and production experience with infrastructure-as-code like Pulumi, Terraform, or CDK across multiple accounts and regions.
 * Experience owning CI/CD end to end.
 * A strong focus on building systems using the principle of least privilege, and focusing on a security posture that enterprises expect: tightly scoped roles, minimal cross-account trust, private networking, compliance evidence for SOC 2 Type II.

## Description

We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to own how Scanner gets deployed, upgraded, and operated everywhere it runs. We currently ship two ways: a managed SaaS where we run every piece of the infrastructure in our own AWS accounts, and a Bring Your Own Cloud deployment where we provision the data plane directly into the customer's AWS account. You'll own that system end to end. The infrastructure you'll run indexes and queries hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of logs per day, across dozens of accounts, so efficiency, observability, and uptime are all paramount. A strong candidate will have
