## 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.
