Job description

This is not a standard DevOps posting. We are looking for one unusually capable, AI-native engineer to own our entire platform engineering and SRE function - using autonomous agents, LLM-powered pipelines, and MCP-based tooling as force multipliers to do the work of a team, on-site, in close partnership with our engineering leadership. You will inherit a mature, fully containerized AWS estate (9 EKS clusters, 27 accounts, 228 Kubernetes nodes), an Akamai CDN layer managing live traffic splits, GitHub Actions + Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for a Webpack 5 micro-frontend monorepo, and an operational AI agent platform - OpsWhisperer - already in production monitoring 25 AWS accounts with a 91% autonomous resolution.

  • Strong Experience with Infrastructure as code tools like terraform or cloudformation
  • Strong Kubernetes skills: cluster operations, node group management, workload isolation, taints/tolerations, auto-scaling
  • Experience with Akamai or equivalent enterprise CDN - configuration, purge operations, traffic routing rules
  • CI/CD ownership: GitHub Actions and/or Jenkins pipeline design, monorepo build systems, release gating
  • Production experience building or operating AI agents - LLM integration, autonomous workflow design, prompt engineering
  • Proficiency in Node.js and/or Python for automation, tooling, and MCP server development
  • Observability stack ownership: Elastic/Kibana, log analysis, alerting design, SLO/SLI instrumentation
  • Comfortable owning on-call responsibility for a production e-commerce platform with significant revenue exposure
  • Strong written and verbal communication, will interface with engineering leadership and present findings to executives

Soft Skills:

  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
