We do not require a degree or a certification. Nice-to-Have * Vercel, Next.js, or another frontend hosting platform. * SOC 2, PCI DSS, or another audited control framework. * Docker, or container orchestration such as Amazon Elastic Container Service. * Database operations on Amazon Relational Database Service, including backups, restores, and migrations. * Cost reduction work where you can state the amount you saved. ## Description You join an engineering team that works in squads and releases several times a week. Your job is to make those releases predictable. You build the pipelines, write the infrastructure code, and set up the monitoring that catches a problem before a studio owner calls support. What you do * Build and maintain the deployment pipelines for our Amazon Web Services and Vercel environments. * Define infrastructure as code in Terraform. Keep production, staging, and development consistent with each other. * Set up monitoring, alerting, and log collection so that the team sees failures early. * Remove alerts that need no action, so that an on-call page always means something. * Manage Amazon Web Services identity and access roles. Run access reviews and produce the evidence that our SOC 2 and PCI DSS audits need. * Track and reduce our cloud spend. Report the monthly total and what changed it. * Write runbooks for the rest of engineering. * Share an on-call rotation with the engineers., This role sits in our Fairfax, Virginia office five days a week.
