Senior Engineer, Platform Infrastructure

• →Architectural Leadership: Own the long-term technical roadmap for our AWS/Kubernetes ecosystem. Design and implement multi-region, high-availability architectures that support rapid product scaling.
• →AI & Agentic Systems: Proactively identify and implement opportunities to use AI/LLMs to build agentic workflows for infrastructure management (e.g., autonomous scaling, automated incident remediation, and intelligent cost optimization).
• →Advanced Orchestration: Lead the evolution of our Kubernetes and Istio service mesh strategy, focusing on performance tuning, advanced traffic management, and developer self-service.
• →Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Set the standard for Terraform/OpenTofu usage, building reusable modules and frameworks that empower the entire engineering organization.
• →Strategic Optimization: Partner with leadership to manage cloud spend and performance metrics, turning technical efficiency into business revenue growth.
• →Mentorship & Influence: Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers and influencing cross-functional product teams on best practices for Cloud-native development.
• →Incident Response & SRE: Serve as a high-level escalation point for complex systemic issues, conducting deep-dive post-mortems that drive structural improvements rather than quick fixes.
  
  

• Deep Technical Mastery: You have extensive experience managing large-scale production environments in AWS, with "black belt" level knowledge of Kubernetes internals, networking (VPC/Direct Connect), and Istio.
• The "AI Native" Mindset: You are passionate about the intersection of Infrastructure and AI. You don't just want to monitor a system; you want to build an agent that monitors and fixes it for you.
• Proven Track Record: You have 8+ years of experience in Infrastructure, SRE, or DevOps, with at least 2 years in a Senior-level capacity driving cross-team initiatives.
• Polyglot Engineering: You are highly proficient in Go or Python, and you’re comfortable diving into the application layer (Ruby, Node.js, or Java) to debug performance bottlenecks.
• Security-First Philosophy: While this is an infra-focused role, you bake security into the CI/CD pipeline and underlying architecture by default.
