Responsibilities
- Own the reliability and operational health of production AWS and Kubernetes environments
- Participate in on-call rotations and take ownership of high-severity production incidents from detection through mitigation and resolution
- Lead root cause analysis and post-incident reviews, implementing permanent corrective actions rather than temporary fixes
- Identify architectural, reliability, security, performance, and operational weaknesses within existing 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 when required, including technical troubleshooting, escalations, incident discussions, and explaining infrastructure or reliability issues
- Collaborate with engineering teams while bringing independent ideas and challenging existing technical approaches where improvements can be made
Skills
- Strong professional experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud Reliability, Platform Engineering, or a comparable production-focused role
- Senior-level hands-on AWS expertise, with the ability to understand, design, troubleshoot, and improve existing AWS architectures
- Senior-level Kubernetes experience, ideally operating Amazon EKS in production
- Strong hands-on experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
- Proven experience participating in an on-call rotation and personally owning production incidents
- 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, particularly during troubleshooting, escalations, architecture discussions, or production incidents
- 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
- Ability to independently identify infrastructure weaknesses and translate them into practical technical improvements
- Strong communication skills and professional-level English
- Comfortable explaining complex technical issues to both engineering teams and customers
- Hands-on production experience with Argo CD and GitOps-based deployment workflows
- Hands-on experience with Kafka in distributed production environments
- Production experience with Kubernetes autoscaling using Karpenter and/or KEDA
- Strong hands-on experience with Ansible for infrastructure/configuration automation
- Practical experience with AWS security tooling and cloud security best practices
- A relevant AWS certification
Benefits
- Fully remote position.
- Opportunity to work on complex, production-critical cloud environments.
- High level of technical ownership and autonomy.
- Real influence over cloud architecture, reliability practices, automation, and platform improvements.
- International engineering environment.
- Direct collaboration with experienced technical teams and enterprise customers.
- Long-term cooperation and opportunities to introduce new technologies and engineering practices.
