## About the Role

* Proven engineering expertise: You've been in the trenches of software engineering (minimum of 4+ YOE), with firsthand experience developing, deploying, and monitoring infrastructure for high-scale distributed systems or complex tools.
 * Technical sharpshooter: Your intellectual curiosity drives you to solve complex problems. You think in systems and see the big picture, yet you're all about nailing the details.
 * Dynamic leader & team player: With a mix of humility, eagerness to learn, and empathy, you're a natural at leading and lifting those around you. You don't just spot problems; you solve them.
 * Project Maestro: You've got a solid track record in turning technical concepts into reality and managing the full cycle from planning to deployment.
 * Ability to travel 1-2 times a month to be on-site with our customers

Skills that supercharge us

 * AWS cloud infrastructure (required), Azure (nice-to-have).
 * Kubernetes: Deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting applications.
 * CI/CD: Designing and building pipelines with GitHub Actions or similar.
 * Infrastructure as Code: Crossplane, Terraform, or similar.
 * Observability: Datadog, Prometheus (metrics collection, dashboarding, alerting).
 * Scripting and development: Bash, Python, and/or Go

## Description

* Empower engineering velocity: Ensure our growing engineering team can move quickly and safely by building and improving our DevOps and cloud infrastructure systems. You'll focus on cloud infrastructure while having the flexibility to contribute to on-prem deployment systems or traditional software engineering.
 * Optimize and scale: Own the systems for deploying and managing cloud infrastructure, refining our CI/CD pipelines, and improving developer experience. Your work will directly enhance developer environment consistency, accelerate build times, and simplify service bootstrapping.
 * Manage tradeoffs: Understand the tensions between effort vs value, short-term vs long-term growth, and any others that may arise.
 * Solve & streamline: See an issue? You're on it, with the autonomy to fix problems fast and keep our technology ahead of the curve.
