  • Drive improvements in CI/CD pipelines, deployment processes, and system observability. •
  • Manage and optimize AWS/cloud environments with a focus on cost, performance, scalability, and security.
  • Participate in on‑call rotations to support platform and infrastructure operations.
  • Leverage generative AI and AI coding tools to accelerate developer productivity, engineering workflows, and automation of repetitive tasks

What we're looking for :

  • 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or related infrastructure roles. • 
  • 1+ year of hands‑on programming experience using Python OR Java
  • Strong experience with Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Pulumi, Terraform, CloudFormation). •
  • Deep understanding of AWS architecture, networking, IAM, and cloud infrastructure operations. •
  • Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes/EKS. •
  • Strong skills in SQL (read/write) and experience working with RDS MySQL/Postgres. •
  • Experience with platform upgrades, cloud migrations, or large‑scale infrastructure improvements.
  • Understanding of AI-native software development practices, including automated code generation, AI-driven testing, and human-in-the-loop review systems
  • Proven ability to adopt and drive modern engineering paradigms, particularly integrating AI into development workflows to improve productivity, quality, and delivery speed

Bonus Requirements :

  • Experience working with Hadoop ecosystem infrastructure (e.g., Hadoop, Hive, Presto). •
  • Knowledge of cloud security best practices.

Our Benefits: 

Full-time employees can take advantage of health coverage, paid parental leave, generous paid time-off and holidays, quarterly self-care days off, and stock options. We’ll make sure you have the equipment and support you need to work and connect with your teams, at home or in one of our offices.
