Responsibilities
• Design, build, and operate AWS infrastructure for Hosted Runners across many single-tenant environments, including Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Auto Scaling Groups, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking, subnets, Network Address Translation (NAT), network access control lists, PrivateLink, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Elastic Container Registry (ECR). • Develop and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform, contributing to common modules and the deployment tooling that provisions and upgrades runner stacks. • Write Go code for our runner tooling and autoscaling components, including the fleeting instance-lifecycle plugins, zero-downtime deployment command-line interface, and reusable infrastructure toolkits. • Build and improve the GitLab CI/CD pipelines that orchestrate blue/green zero-downtime deployments, automated upgrades, quality assurance validation, and performance testing of runner stacks. • Define and monitor service level objectives for CI job execution, including queue times, job success rates, and fleet saturation, and build the Grafana dashboards, alerts, and runbooks behind them. • Participate in an on-call rotation, handle incidents affecting customer CI/CD workloads, and automate away recurring toil. • Run performance and scale testing that reflects real customer workloads, and tune autoscaling parameters for cost and reliability. • Write documentation and runbooks so the broader team can operate runner stacks consistently.
