-Design, build, and manage scalable AWS cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code best practices.
- Own infrastructure projects end-to-end, from technical design and provisioning through deployment, troubleshooting, and optimization.
- Build and maintain AWS environments leveraging IAM, S3, EKS, EMR, and supporting cloud services.
- Develop automation and self-service capabilities using Python and scripting to streamline infrastructure provisioning and reduce manual effort.
- Optimize AWS infrastructure costs through resource utilization analysis, cost dashboards, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines using CircleCI, partnering with engineering teams to support application and infrastructure deployments.
- Support infrastructure and database-related troubleshooting, collaborating with engineering and database teams to resolve issues and improve operational efficiency.
You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where priorities evolve, take ownership of technical challenges, and bring a practical, solutions-oriented approach to your work.
You Bring:
-Strong hands-on experience designing, building, and supporting production AWS infrastructure, rather than primarily focusing on monitoring or SRE functions.
- The ability to independently scope, design, and execute complex cloud infrastructure projects while balancing operational priorities.
- A strong automation mindset, with experience replacing manual infrastructure processes with repeatable, scalable solutions.
- Experience supporting containerized applications and cloud-native data platforms.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across AWS infrastructure, networking, permissions, and deployment environments.
- Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with software engineers, data engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
- A team-first mindset and commitment to contributing to an inclusive, supportive engineering culture.
- Strong expertise designing, building, and managing AWS infrastructure, including IAM, S3, EKS (Kubernetes), and EMR.
- Advanced proficiency with Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), infrastructure provisioning, and automation.
- Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration in AWS environments.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, preferably using CircleCI.
- Proficiency in Python and/or Bash scripting to automate infrastructure workflows and reduce manual processes.
- Experience with AWS cost optimization, resource utilization, and cloud infrastructure security and networking.
- Experience supporting or troubleshooting production databases, ideally within AWS environments.
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to independently own complex infrastructure projects and collaborate across engineering teams.
