You will design and run the infrastructure, delivery pipelines and observability that let every engineer ship safely and often. You will make the platform secure and compliant by default, so enterprise customers can trust it with their most important project data. This is a hands-on role on a new team, for someone who treats the platform as a product and measures success by how fast and safely others can ship on it. At Foresight, the platform is a product, and our engineers are its customers. You make the right way to build, ship and run software also the easiest way. This could translate to work on: * Cloud foundation: Design our AWS environments as code, from networking and compute to managed databases and storage, so any environment can be rebuilt from scratch with confidence. * Delivery pipelines: Build CI/CD that takes a merged change to production safely, with automated tests, security scanning, preview environments and fast rollback. * Observability on a budget: Build logging, metrics, tracing and alerting that show what every service is doing, without letting monitoring costs run away. * Security and compliance by default: Build identity and access controls, secrets management, encryption and audit trails that meet enterprise standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. * Reliability at scale: Build autoscaling, backups, disaster recovery and incident response, and deploy in the regions our customers' data must stay in. What you'll do * Treat other engineers as your customers: build paved roads, templates and self-service tools they actually want to use. * Keep the platform as simple as the problem allows. * Automate everything that reaches production; no manual changes to live systems. * Own cloud cost: make spend visible by service and customer, and keep it in line as we grow. * Lead incident response and blameless postmortems, then fix the root cause so it doesn't happen twice. * Help set the team's infrastructure standards and shape the platform as one of its first platform engineers.
