WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Design, operate, and continuously improve our Kubernetes infrastructure on Amazon EKS, including Karpenter-based autoscaling, workload scheduling, and cluster lifecycle management
• Administer and tune PostgreSQL databases (on RDS) that back platform applications such as Airflow — handling configuration, parameter tuning, maintenance, and reliability, not query optimization
• Own our Infrastructure as Code using Terraform — provisioning, modifying, and auditing AWS resources including S3, EC2, RDS, EKS, and IAM
• Manage IAM roles, policies, and access patterns across our AWS environment with a security-first mindset
• Maintain our artifact registries (ECR, Artifactory) — enforcing retention policies, image versioning standards, and responding to infosec requests around package vulnerabilities and container image remediation
• Own and evolve our monitoring and observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch) — improving coverage, reducing noise, and evaluating the stack as needs change
• Support our CI/CD and source control environment across both current (Bitbucket, Jenkins) and target (GitHub, GitHub Actions) tooling as we migrate
• Collaborate with data engineers to define infrastructure patterns, containerization standards, and deployment best practices
• Participate in on-call rotation for platform-level incidents
WHAT’S REQUIRED
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or DevOps in production environments
• Deep expertise with Kubernetes in production — ideally Amazon EKS — including autoscaling (Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler), networking, and day-to-day operations
• Strong proficiency in Terraform for infrastructure as code
• Solid AWS experience across EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, and IAM
• Experience administering PostgreSQL or similar relational databases in a cloud environment — configuration, tuning for specific workloads, and operational maintenance
• Hands-on experience with Helm, ArgoCD, and GitOps delivery workflows
• Experience with observability tooling — Prometheus, Grafana, and log aggregation (OpenSearch or similar)
• Familiarity with artifact management, container image lifecycle, and vulnerability remediation workflows
• Experience with code repository and CI/CD solutions such as Bitbucket, Jenkins, GitHub, and GitHub Actions
• Scripting and automation proficiency in Python and/or Bash
• Strong Linux fundamentals and comfort operating cloud-native production systems
• Commitment to the highest ethical standards
