As a Staff Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer, you will serve as a technical authority and architect across the DevOps and Infrastructure domain. You will drive the long-term technical vision, architectural standards, and strategic roadmap for cloud platform engineering. This role requires an "engineer at heart" who can solve complex infrastructure challenges, mentor senior engineers, and influence cross-functional engineering practices to support rapid business growth.

- Platform & Developer Tooling: Build enterprise-grade developer platforms and automated self-service tooling to accelerate engineering velocity across the organization.
- Reliability & Disaster Recovery: Establish organizational standards for system availability, disaster recovery, failover strategies, and incident management.
- Observability & Security Standards: Define end-to-end security compliance, zero-trust network topology, and company-wide observability frameworks.
- Mentorship & Technical Excellence: Coach, mentor, and elevate the technical capabilities of engineers across teams while championing engineering best practices.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with engineering leadership, product managers, and security teams to resolve complex systemic bottlenecks.
Qualifications
- Experience: 8+ years of experience in Infrastructure, DevOps, Platform, or SRE roles with a track record of architectural leadership.
- Cloud Architecture: Deep expertise in AWS architecture, multi-account structures, network topology, cost governance, and cloud security best practices.
- Advanced Orchestration & IaC: Mastery of Kubernetes at scale, service meshes, and enterprise IaC management using Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation.
- Advanced CI/CD & GitOps: Expertise in designing sophisticated GitOps-driven deployment workflows using tools like ArgoCD, Flux, or GitHub Actions.
- Data Infrastructure & Caching: Strong background with relational/NoSQL databases (MySQL, DynamoDB) and distributed caching systems (Redis, DAX) under high load.
- System Design & Coding: Proficiency in scripting and software development using languages such as Python, Go, or Bash.
- Strategic Thinking: Ability to balance immediate operational needs with long-term architectural scalable solutions.
- Leadership & Influence: Proven track record of influencing architectural decisions and driving cross-team technical alignment without formal management authority.
