## About the role

Architect and own the cloud platform that every engineer at Headway deploys on. Make deploys boring, scaling automatic, infrastructure self-serve, and cost attributable. You will own the cloud platform Headway runs on. You will lead the work to isolate blast radius, make autoscaling trustworthy, and build a self-serve infrastructure platform so that the Infrastructure Engineering team focuses on the strategic and unusual, not the routine.

## What they're looking for

- 8 or more years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles at companies running significant production traffic
- Deep AWS expertise and production ownership of compute and networking at scale (ECS, EKS, RDS, networking, IAM)
- Strong infrastructure-as-code experience, particularly Terraform, including designing self-serve platforms for other engineering teams
- Hands-on autoscaling and capacity engineering, and container orchestration with ECS and/or EKS
- Track record making deploys safe and self-serve for other teams, not just your own
- Staff-level influence: you drive decisions across team boundaries and raise the infrastructure bar org-wide without requiring management authority to do it
