## About the role

Time for building: Nothing gets shipped in a meeting. We're a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs > Issues > Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meeting-free days , and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job you've ever had.

## What they're looking for

- We’re looking for people (in the US - Pacific timezone) that like deep ownership of production systems, people that are not afraid of working with stateful infrastructure and love working in AWS, VMs, automation, and making messy systems reliable
- Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production (EKS preferred). You've debugged node pressure, networking issues, and deployment failures at scale (thousands of nodes)
- Strong experience operating production infrastructure on AWS. Not just one account, but understanding organizational boundaries, IAM, and networking between many
- Experience automating infrastructure using Terraform or Terragrunt at scale, including module design and state management
- Solid understanding of Linux systems (disk, memory, networking, failure modes)
- Experience supporting stateful systems (databases, queues, storage systems, etc.)
