## About the Role

* Cloud Infrastructure: Hands-on experience managing production cloud infrastructure on AWS (compute, networking, IAM, storage).
 * Automation Scripting: Proficiency in Python or Bash with the ability to write clear, tested, and maintainable automation tooling.
 * Infrastructure as Code: Demonstrated capability working with infrastructure as code using Terraform or OpenTofu.
 * Linux & Containers: Solid Linux/Unix fundamentals and hands-on experience building, running, and troubleshooting Docker images and containerized services.
 * CI/CD Pipelines: Experience building or maintaining continuous integration and deployment pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
 * Location: Willingness to work in a hybrid environment in Boston, MA., * Advanced IaC & Containers: Experience with Terragrunt and solid fundamentals working with Kubernetes containers in a Linux/Unix environment.
 * Regulated Environments: AWS GovCloud, FedRAMP, or SOC 2 exposure.
 * AI-Assisted Engineering: Regular use of AI coding assistants in infrastructure work, with judgment about when to trust the output.
 * Developer Experience Tooling: Internal tools or self-service workflows adopted by other engineering teams.

## Description

* Independent Ownership: Within your first 90 days you've shipped an infrastructure change through the full path - module, plan review, apply, monitoring - and by six months you own a Bedrock component (a Redstone stack, a pipeline family, or a tooling area) that teammates come to you about.
 * Terragrunt Modules Contributed: You've authored or refactored reusable OpenTofu/Terragrunt modules that pass review, follow the team's conventions, and are adopted in stacks beyond the one you built them for.
 * Pipelines Measurably Better: Something a product engineering team can name got easier because of your Jenkins work - faster builds or deploys, fewer flaky failures, or quicker recovery - and you can show the before and after.
 * Trusted On-Call: You're a full member of the rotation, your incident handoffs are clear, and the follow-ups you own land as durable fixes with written learnings rather than repeat pages.
 * Lifting Newer Engineers: Your reviews and docs are good enough that a newer engineer or co-op has learned part of the platform from them, and you've paired with or onboarded at least one., * Infrastructure as Code: Design, build, and maintain production cloud resources on AWS (EC2, ECS, S3, IAM) using OpenTofu and Terragrunt.
 * Pipeline Management: Own and improve Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, making it easier and faster for product engineering teams to deploy.
 * Automation Development: Develop internal developer tooling and automation scripts in Python to replace manual operational tasks.
 * Observability & Monitoring: Extend Datadog dashboards and monitors to track key service health and ensure alerts are actionable.
 * Container Operations: Work with Docker containerization to build, maintain, and run images and services.
 * Team Collaboration: Participate in sprint ceremonies, conduct constructive code reviews, handle on-call rotations, and help onboard newer engineers.
