Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) with high production autonomy. • AWS Expertise: Deep production-level knowledge of AWS core services (VPC, IAM, Networking, ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda) and modern cloud design patterns. • Container Mastery: Deep understanding of Docker and container runtimes, with strong hands-on experience in AWS ECS (Fargate) and working knowledge of Kubernetes (EKS) for specialized use cases. • Infrastructure as Code: Advanced, clean proficiency with Terraform for managing modular and scalable cloud architectures. • CI/CD Ecosystems: High proficiency with GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, and artifact management. • Automation & Scripting: Strong capability to write maintainable code or tooling in Go, Python, or advanced Bash. • Collaboration: High self-motivation, excellent English communication skills, and a • strong remote-first work ethic.

Responsibilities

• Greenfield Architecture: Architect, build, and operate secure, multi-account environments across AWS using modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. • Flexible Container Management: Design and optimize container orchestration layers, standardizing on AWS ECS (Fargate) as the primary platform for lean microservices, and reserving AWS EKS (Kubernetes) for the specific cases where heavy workloads or complex scheduling require it. • CI/CD Pipeline Design: Build unified, reusable, and secure automated delivery workflows using GitHub Actions and modern deployment tooling. • Developer Enablement: Serve as the dedicated platform champion. Provide self-service infrastructure blueprints and automated guardrails so backend developers can own their deployment lifecycle without friction. • Observability & Reliability: Establish robust telemetry, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch) to ensure system health and deep visibility into our greenfield applications. • Security by Design: Embed automated security checks, IAM least-privilege models, and secure secrets management directly into the core platform layer.

Benefits

• AI-Native by Default: We build with Claude - code generation, API design, code reviews, architectural documentation, and debugging. You get first-class AI tooling that takes the boilerplate off your plate, so your time goes to system design, judgment, and the genuinely hard backend problems. • Pure Greenfield: No legacy code, no technical debt - you own the design of core services and domains for our global EdTech platform. • Infrastructure Support: A dedicated Platform Engineering team handles provisioning and CI/CD so you can build on AWS services directly. • At Berlitz, connecting people across languages and cultures is at the heart of what we do. Our global workplace reflects the diverse world we serve, bringing together different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We create an inclusive environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to belong, contribute and grow. • Ready to shape what’s next? Join us and help build the future with us.
