About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Senior Engineer to serve as the technical architect and lead for our Cloud foundation. In this role, you won’t be just maintaining systems; you will be defining the future of how our infrastructure evolves. You will own the scalability and reliability of our global platforms while leading the charge into Agentic Infrastructure - leveraging AI to build self-healing, autonomous systems that reduce operational toil. You will act as the bridge between high-level business strategy and deep technical execution, ensuring our Kubernetes-driven environment is not just stable, but a competitive advantage. Please note that this opportunity is located in New York, NY, and requires this hire to work from our office four days a week.

Requirements

Extensive experience managing large-scale production environments in AWS.
"Black belt" level knowledge of Kubernetes internals, networking (VPC/Direct Connect), and Istio.
Passion for the intersection of Infrastructure and AI.
8+ years of experience in Infrastructure, SRE, or DevOps.
At least 2 years in a Senior-level capacity driving cross-team initiatives.
Highly proficient in Go or Python.
Comfortable diving into the application layer (Ruby, Node.js, or Java) to debug performance bottlenecks.
Bake security into the CI/CD pipeline and underlying architecture by default.

Responsibilities

Own the long-term technical roadmap for our AWS/Kubernetes ecosystem.
Design and implement multi-region, high-availability architectures that support rapid product scaling.
Proactively identify and implement opportunities to use AI/LLMs to build agentic workflows for infrastructure management (e.g., autonomous scaling, automated incident remediation, and intelligent cost optimization).
Lead the evolution of our Kubernetes and Istio service mesh strategy, focusing on performance tuning, advanced traffic management, and developer self-service.
Set the standard for Terraform/OpenTofu usage, building reusable modules and frameworks that empower the entire engineering organization.
Partner with leadership to manage cloud spend and performance metrics, turning technical efficiency into business revenue growth.
Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers and influencing cross-functional product teams on best practices for Cloud-native development.
Serve as a high-level escalation point for complex systemic issues, conducting deep-dive post-mortems that drive structural improvements rather than quick fixes.
