Staff Software Engineer - Infrastructure/DevOps

Role Summary

We are building a next-generation Core Infrastructure platform focused on:

• Zero-trust security and identity-based access
• Multi-region and multi-account scalability (multi cloud in future)
• Highly automated, self-service infrastructure
• Reliable and observable systems at scale

This role will own foundational infrastructure systems—networking, identity, compute platforms, and automation frameworks—that power all services.

Core Areas of Ownership

[1] Core Infrastructure & Cloud Platform

• Design and evolve infrastructure on:
• Amazon Web Services
• Kubernetes
• Build and scale:
• Multi-region and multi-account architectures
• Secure and scalable service connectivity (VPC, cross-account, cross-region)

[2] Security & Zero Trust

• Drive adoption of:
• Identity-based access (eliminate shared credentials)
• Implement:
• Secrets management using HashiCorp Vault
• Policy enforcement using Open Policy Agent
• Design:
• Secure service-to-service communication
• Fine-grained IAM and access control systems

[3] Infrastructure as Code & Automation

• Build infrastructure using:
• Terraform
• Pulumi
• Ansible
• Create:
• Reusable modules and abstractions
• Fully automated provisioning workflows
• Integrate with CI/CD:
• GitHub Actions
• Jenkins

[4] Cluster & Infrastructure Lifecycle

• Own lifecycle of:
• Kubernetes clusters (e.g., EKS)
• Databases (eg, rds/aurora/elastic cache. etc)
• Automate:
• Cluster upgrades and migrations
• Node scaling and patching

[5] Multi-Region & Migration Engineering

• Design:
• Region-agnostic infrastructure patterns
• Enable:
• Automated regions bootstrap and failover
• Lead:
• Migration initiatives (region, account, or cloud)

[6] Observability & Reliability

• Build and operate:
• Metrics, logging, and tracing systems using:
• Prometheus
• Grafana
• ELK stack
• Datadog
• Improve:
• System reliability, alerting, and incident response

[7 ] Governance & Standards

• Define and enforce:
• Resource tagging strategies
• Data classification policies
• Ensure:
• Cost visibility and auditability

[8] Developer Productivity & Platform

• Build:
• Self-service infrastructure workflows
• Improve:
• Developer experience through automation and tooling
• Contribute to:
• Internal platform evolution

Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and scale core infrastructure systems
• Automate infrastructure lifecycle to minimize human intervention
• Design secure connectivity across services, VPCs, accounts, and regions
• Debug and resolve complex production issues across the stack
• Write production-quality code, tools, and frameworks
• Collaborate with engineering teams to standardize infrastructure usage

Minimum Qualifications

• 10+ years in a Software Engineering role or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with:
• Amazon Web Services
• Kubernetes
• Terraform or Pulumi
• Strong understanding of:
• Networking (VPC, routing, DNS, connectivity)
• IAM and access control
• Experience with:
• Automating infrastructure workflows
• High-availability and scalable systems
• Proficiency in:
• Python / Go / Bash

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with:
• Multi-region or multi-account architectures
• Automating infrastructure migrations and upgrades (e.g., EKS upgrades)
• Secrets management platforms (e.g., HashiCorp Vault)
• Familiarity with:
• Policy-as-code (e.g., Open Policy Agent)
• Observability systems (Prometheus, Grafana, datadog)
• Exposure to:
• Data infrastructure (Hadoop, Trino, Spark)
• Service mesh (e.g., Istio)

Our Benefits:

Full-time employees can take advantage of health coverage, paid parental leave, generous paid time-off and holidays, quarterly self-care days off, and stock options. We’ll make sure you have the equipment and support you need to work and connect with your teams, at home or in one of our offices.
