About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure to own the platform that VSCO product and data teams ship on. You’ll join a small infra team that treats AWS, EKS, and GitOps as the default path for new systems, and you’ll spend real time pairing with other teams so - search, Workspace, and data - land in the right Terraform, Helm, and Flux instead of one-off snowflakes.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years in infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering, including time as a hands-on owner of production systems (not only tickets and runbooks)
- Strong production experience with Kubernetes/EKS, Linux, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform). You have shipped and operated this, not only used a chart someone else wrote
- AWS in production: EKS, IAM/IRSA, networking (VPC, NAT, DNS), and at least one of RDS/MySQL, Elasticache/Valkey, or OpenSearch
- GitOps and CI/CD in anger: Flux and/or Helm, plus GitHub Actions (self-hosted runners a plus)
- Experience leading technical architecture discussions, explaining tradeoffs, and driving a decision inside a small team
- Experience troubleshooting complex production issues, including network and DNS, and turning them into durable fixes

If you care about craft, community, and what technology can unlock for creative people, this is the work.
