Requirements
- Started in application development but shifted into infrastructure over the past few years and now think in terms of systems, safety, and scale.
- Have a strong thesis on how modern infrastructure should work and can explain it clearly, with tradeoffs.
- Have deep working experience with a major compute provider (e.g., AWS, GCP) and can describe how a VPC, subnet, or IAM policy actually works under the hood.
- Know how to structure and scale Infrastructure as Code and have opinions on composition, separation, and change management.
- Have experience with operations and observability and care about what good on-call, system performance, and alerting actually look like.
- Care deeply about developer experience and productivity — you design tooling, pipelines, and workflows that let engineers move fast without cutting corners.
- Bring a practical security mindset — you don’t need to be an expert, but you understand risks and design defensively.
Benefits
- Bonus points for leading or highly involved contributor for a large cloud migration.
- Bonus points for a blend of startup scrappiness and working in high-scale systems.
- In-office at least 3 days a week.
