• Level up our observability story, designing and implementing comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing frameworks.

• Introduce and integrate AI into our observability stack (AIOps) to enable predictive alerting, automated anomaly detection, and smarter, faster incident response.

• Leverage AI coding assistants and autonomous agents to accelerate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) development, streamline automation scripting, and rapidly debug complex infrastructure issues.

• Use your expertise to improve overall infrastructure quality, developer tooling, and CI/CD processes.

• A proven track record of identifying bottlenecks and successfully improving system performance at scale.

• Proficiency or strong eagerness to utilize AI-driven development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agents) to boost your own productivity and optimize infrastructure engineering workflows.

• Familiarity with GitHub Actions and Terraform Cloud is a plus.

• Demonstrated ownership: you take responsibility for problems end-to-end and drive them to resolution without waiting to be told.

• Excellent English communication skills, both verbal and written.
