Requirements
• Experience in DevOps with a focus on AWS Fargate environments; proven ability to own and evolve production platforms at scale. • Skills in designing and building opinionated self-service tooling for service deployment and operation. • Ability to automate workflows, standardize infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code practices, and reduce manual work (toil). • Knowledge of platform-level monitoring and alerting standards that provide meaningful signals without overwhelming teams; ability to define and implement these standards. • Experience in continuous delivery and release capabilities with a focus on reducing time to production while maintaining reliability and safety. • Familiarity with best practices in application hosting, continuous delivery, and developer experience as they apply to the platform. • Ability to upskill and mentor other engineers within the team after initial onboarding period; sharing of real-world lessons learned is encouraged but not mandatory immediately upon hiring.
Responsibilities
• Own and evolve our AWS environments and shared platform infrastructure, focusing on reliability, scalability, and ease of use for product teams. • Design and build opinionated, self-service tooling that makes it easy for engineers to build, deploy, and operate services correctly. • Continuously reduce manual work (toil) by automating common workflows and standardising infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code and platform abstractions. • Define and implement platform-level monitoring and alerting standards that provide meaningful signals without overwhelming teams. • Enable product teams to use shared metrics and signals to understand and improve the reliability of their services across environments. • Own and evolve our continuous delivery and release capabilities, reducing time to production while maintaining high standards of reliability and safety. • Stay current with best practices in application hosting, continuous delivery, and developer experience, and apply them pragmatically to the platform. • Upskill and mentor other engineers in the team. • As a senior engineer, you are expected to bring prior experience operating and evolving production platforms at scale. You’ll use your judgement to make trade-offs, anticipate failure modes, and help the team avoid repeating past mistakes. Learning is encouraged and supported, but you should be comfortable operating independently after onboarding and sharing lessons from real-world experience.
