Requirements
• Strong experience with AWS services in production: ECS, RDS Aurora, S3, API Gateway, IAM, VPC networking, and related services. • Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools, particularly AWS CDK (Golang). • Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring: Datadog (or similar platforms like Grafana, New Relic), structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting. • Solid understanding of relational databases in production: query optimization, connection management, replication, failover, and backup strategies for Aurora/PostgreSQL. • Experience managing containerized workloads: ECS, container image pipelines, service discovery, and scaling. • Comfortable with Golang — enough to read, debug, and contribute to backend services when needed. • Strong grasp of cloud security fundamentals: least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation. • Experience with on-call rotations, incident management, and building runbooks that reduce mean time to resolution. • Clear communication: you’ll work directly with backend, platform, and product engineers to translate infrastructure needs into reliable solutions. • Experience with cost optimization tools and practices: AWS Cost Explorer, Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, or third-party FinOps platforms. • Familiarity with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions. • Exposure to service mesh, API gateways, or advanced networking patterns. • Experience building internal developer platforms or self-service infrastructure tooling. • Background in SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance frameworks as they relate to cloud infrastructure.
Responsibilities
• Define and enforce infrastructure-as-code best practices using AWS CDK, ensuring all cloud resources are version-controlled, repeatable, and peer-reviewed. • Architect and manage AWS infrastructure including ECS, RDS Aurora, API Gateway, S3, and networking — optimizing for reliability, performance, and cost. • Build and maintain a comprehensive observability stack: structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics dashboards, and alerting using Datadog. • Establish and run on-call processes, incident response playbooks, and post-mortem practices that improve system resilience over time. • Optimize RDS Aurora and ECS resources for performance, availability, and cost — right-sizing instances, tuning queries, and managing scaling policies. • Own cloud spend management: implement tagging strategies, cost allocation, budgets, and regular reviews to keep infrastructure costs accountable. • Harden cloud security posture: manage IAM policies, network segmentation, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance controls. • Improve developer experience by streamlining CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and local development tooling.
