## About the Role

You will translate real product and operational needs into robust designs, raise the bar through design and code review, and mentor engineers around you. ## **You have:*** Seven or more years of experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure, with deep expertise in at least one of AWS or GCP and working proficiency in the other.* Strong networking fundamentals: VPCs, subnets, routing, DNS, load balancing, TLS, VPNs, and secure connectivity between cloud and on-prem or edge devices.* Expert-level Terraform.
You have designed modules others depend on, managed state at scale, and led non-trivial migrations without downtime.* Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitHub Actions (or comparable systems), including build performance, artifact management, and safe deployment patterns.* Strong Kubernetes expertise.
You have operated production clusters at scale, understand the control plane and networking model in depth, and have designed workload, upgrade, and multi-tenant strategies that others rely on.* Hands-on experience with a service mesh in production, ideally Istio.
You are comfortable with envoy-based traffic management, mTLS, authorization policy, and mesh observability, and you can debug problems that cross the mesh boundary.* Fluency in Linux and containers, and in at least one scripting or systems language (Python, Go, Bash, or similar).* A production mindset: you think about failure modes, blast radius, cost, and observability from the start, and you have carried a pager for infrastructure you built.* Strong communication, debugging, and problem-solving skills, and a track record of driving major initiatives end to end across teams.* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. ## **Nice to have:*** Experience connecting cloud services to physical devices or edge hardware in the field.* Familiarity with Bazel or another polyglot monorepo build system.* Experience with security and compliance controls (SOC 2, ISO 27001) as they apply to cloud infrastructure.* Experience running
or contributing to a platform team that other engineers depend on as internal customers.

## Description

You will help other teams adopt strong operational practices for the services they own.* **Technical Leadership & Mentorship:** Work as a senior technical contributor across infrastructure, security, and application teams.
