Responsibilities
- Own the reliability and operational health of production AWS and Kubernetes environments.
- Participate in on-call rotations and own high-severity production incidents from detection through resolution.
- Lead root cause analysis and post-incident reviews, implementing permanent corrective actions.
- Identify architectural, reliability, security, performance, and operational weaknesses in cloud environments.
- Propose and implement improvements based on AWS and Kubernetes best practices.
- Design, maintain, and continuously improve AWS infrastructure and production Kubernetes/EKS environments.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning and operational workflows using Terraform and configuration-management tools.
- Improve deployment and GitOps processes using tools such as Argo CD.
- Build and improve monitoring, logging, tracing, dashboards, and actionable alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK and related observability technologies.
- Improve scalability and workload management using Kubernetes autoscaling technologies such as Karpenter or KEDA.
- Support distributed and event-driven environments, including technologies such as Kafka.
- Develop automation and operational tooling using Python, Bash, Go, or similar languages.
- Strengthen cloud security, resilience, disaster recovery, and production-readiness practices.
- Work directly with enterprise customers for technical troubleshooting, escalations, incident discussions, and explaining infrastructure issues.
- Collaborate with engineering teams, bringing independent ideas and challenging existing technical approaches.
Requirements
- Strong professional experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud Reliability, Platform Engineering, or a comparable production-focused role.
- Senior-level hands-on AWS expertise, including design, troubleshooting, and improvement of AWS architectures.

- Demonstrable experience with high-severity incident response, root cause analysis, postmortems, MTTR reduction, and permanent remediation.
- Proven experience communicating directly with external or enterprise customers in a technical capacity.
- Strong observability experience with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or equivalent production observability stacks.
- Strong Linux and cloud networking fundamentals.
- Experience automating operational processes using Python, Bash, Go, or similar scripting/programming languages.
- Experience with CI/CD and GitOps environments.
