## About the Role

* An infinite learner. Someone who is relentless in their curiosity.
 * A customer obsessive. Someone who deeply cares about delighting customers and solving real pains, not vanity metrics. On the platform team, you have two sets of customers: Rilla's actual customers, and Rilla's engineers.
 * A winning attitude. You thrive with extreme accountability, learning as a team, and both giving and receiving rapid feedback.
 * Extreme empathy. Our customers are not tech companies. They live and work in the real world. Empathy is critical to arriving at correct solutions.
 * Unafraid of failure. You take risks. You see failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time. In a weird way, you trick your brain into being excited when you fail, because it means you got a new opportunity to learn more., * Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS preferred), you've provisioned and operated real production resources, not just followed tutorials
 * Terraform or similar Infrastructure as Code tools, you can write, review, and reason about declarative infrastructure
 * CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployment. You've built or maintained pipelines that engineers actually trust
 * Containerization (Docker, and familiarity with orchestration via ECS or Kubernetes) in production environments
 * Database administration, query optimization, indexing, backup/recovery, and monitoring. We run PostgreSQL, and you'll help keep it healthy
 * RESTful API design - you can architect and build APIs that external customers depend on, not just internal endpoints
 * Authentication and authorization protocols - OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC. You'll own customer-facing SSO integrations end-to-end
 * Monitoring and observability tools (CloudWatch, Datadog, Prometheus, Sentry, or similar) you care about knowing when things break before customers do
 * Scripting and automation, you instinctively eliminate manual work and build repeatable processes
 * Strong written and verbal communication skills. You'll write runbooks, post-mortems, and design docs that the entire engineering team depends on

## Description

* Cloud infrastructure: AWS (ECS, RDS, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudWatch, and more), managed entirely through Terraform

 * Databases: PostgreSQL
 * Containerization and deployment: Docker, AWS ECS, GitHub Actions, Spacelift
 * Monitoring and observability: Datadog, Sentry, Mixpanel
 * Identity and auth: OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC for customer-facing SSO integrations
