- Remote
What you'll do
- Lead infrastructure projects for assigned brands: migrations, performance & reliability improvements, incident response practices, containerization, and cloud cost optimizations.
- Establish/upgrade CI/CD, infra as code, monitoring, alerting, and SLO-aligned dashboards; baseline and improve reliability with data.
- Advise brand CTOs/engineering leads on trade-offs and architecture; justify decisions with clear reasoning and measurable outcomes.
- Contribute to and consume central services (e.g., observability, backups) so brands don't reinvent the wheel.
- Collaborate with developers as part of the product team during engagements; troubleshoot across app and infra boundaries.
- Bring AI into the paved road itself: use tools like Claude Code or Codex daily to speed up IaC, scripting, and incident diagnosis, and help brand teams pick up the same habits in their own workflows.
- Participate in an on-call rotation (lightweight today; scaling toward a fair, shared model).
- Complete central onboarding by pairing with a team member for ~2 weeks to learn patterns and tooling, then start managing the brands assigned.
- Lead the onboarding of at least one brand to 'paved road' standards (GitHub org, CI/CD, monitoring/observability, IaC).
- Deliver one or more migrations/refactors (e.g., CI/CD, infra modernization, cost/availability improvements) and document decisions.
What we're looking for
- 5+ years of experience in Platform or Cloud Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering roles, operating at a senior level with strong ownership and autonomy.
- Deep expertise in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and practical experience with Infrastructure as Code (ideally Terraform).
- Solid understanding of CI/CD concepts and best practices; able to assess, design, and modernize pipelines across diverse brand environments.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Datadog, New Relic, ELK, Prometheus, or similar) and sound judgment on what 'good' looks like.
- Hands-on, daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) in real infra work, not just curiosity about them; comfortable coaching brand teams on how to use them well.
- A background in software development or the ability to read and debug application code.
- Excellent communication and consulting skills; confident in advising and influencing technical stakeholders while adapting to different teams and tech stacks.
