## About the role

Own and operate one or more components of the Northwood infrastructure stack (CI/CD, app platform, cloud/IaC, networking, observability, security tooling). Take a defined scope and execute without ongoing oversight. Build and maintain infrastructure as code. Default to Terraform, Helm, and GitOps.

## What they're looking for

- 3-5 years of production infrastructure experience (SRE, DevOps, platform, network, or systems engineering)
- Working competence across: Linux, networking fundamentals, AWS or equivalent cloud, infrastructure as code (Terraform), containers and Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, observability tooling. Not expert in all — competent enough to operate and contribute
- Demonstrated ownership of a production system end-to-end: design, implementation, operation
- On-call experience in a production environment with measurable reliability outcomes
- Comfortable in code (Python, Go, or similar) for automation, tooling, and integration work
- Strong technical writing — design docs, runbooks, post-mortems
