About The Position

We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to take ownership of our cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and system monitoring. This role is ideal for someone who is highly autonomous, thrives in complex problem-solving, and is passionate about building resilient, scalable serverless systems. You'll play a critical role in ensuring our engineering teams can deploy code safely and efficiently, while continuously improving our AWS environment and DevOps processes. This role requires someone who's just as comfortable rolling up their sleeves to debug a critical incident as they are stepping back to identify long-term architectural improvements or cost optimization opportunities.

Responsibilities

Own our AWS serverless infrastructure, including Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, S3, ECS, EFS, Route 53, and CloudFront.
Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, primarily in Azure DevOps (or comparable tools like TeamCity, GitHub Actions, etc.).
Debug and resolve infrastructure issues end-to-end, understanding how data flows through our system and proactively identifying points of failure.
Implement and lead best practices for monitoring, alerting, and incident response using Datadog.
Establish and manage DevOps backlogs, priorities, and tasks independently, without needing constant direction.
Champion operational excellence by driving initiatives that reduce incidents, improve observability, and increase deployment confidence.
Collaborate closely with backend and frontend engineering teams to support deployment, configuration, and production readiness of new services.
Identify opportunities for cost savings and infrastructure right-sizing and drive those initiatives through to completion.
Contribute to documentation, process improvement, and DevOps tooling-leveraging automation wherever possible.
Stay current on AWS advancements and DevOps best practices, applying them to continuously improve our platform.
