## About the role

Build and maintain cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP using Terraform — designing the modules and patterns that provision the substrate our services run on, and thinking beyond the immediate use case to how your work is consumed across the organization Operate and evolve multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters (EKS) serving the entire engineering organization — owning node lifecycle, upgrades, security contexts, and networking decisions that affect every team

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of platform engineering experience
- Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, EKS, IAM, S3, VPC, or similar) — we're looking for people who have built and operated real infrastructure, not certifications
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes in production — you have operated or deployed workloads on K8s clusters beyond a local environment
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform strongly preferred, Pulumi or CloudFormation acceptable)
- Proficiency in at least one of Go, Python, or shell scripting — Go is preferred because our reconciler work is in Go, but you should be ready to turn your hand to whatever the problem demands
- Comfort with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Argo, Jenkins, or similar) and hands-on experience with on-call and incident response — you understand what it means to be accountable for production systems
