About The Position

Feeld is seeking a Staff Infrastructure Engineer to join its fully remote Infrastructure team. The role is hands-on from the first weeks, sharing day-to-day operational work while helping set the technical direction for Feeld’s AWS platform. The goal is to make infrastructure defined as code, automated end to end, resilient, and straightforward for product squads to use, reducing routine work so the team can focus on improving the platform.

The role shapes infrastructure standards and the roadmap with the Infrastructure team, builds secure and reliable Terraform patterns, and keeps AWS and Cloudflare infrastructure represented in code. It also evolves Terraform organization and deployment practices, automates operational tasks, and owns PostgreSQL and DynamoDB platform operations, including tested backups and uninterrupted upgrades. The engineer will plan capacity and costs using growth models and load testing, and will join the on-call rotation once it is established.

This is a Staff-level role requiring deep hands-on AWS and Terraform experience, sound technical judgement, and the ability to lead technical direction collaboratively. Feeld is an independent, experimental, fully remote organization with an agile, fluid culture that values autonomy, inclusion, transparency, and progressiveness. The team works remotely and supports flexible working hours. The company emphasizes wellbeing and seeks to prevent burnout and an always-on culture.

Requirements

• Deep, hands-on experience running production systems on AWS across compute services such as ECS/Fargate and Lambda, data services such as RDS or Aurora PostgreSQL and DynamoDB, and networking.
• Experience performing upgrades without downtime and testing restores.
• Experience designing and maintaining a large Terraform codebase, including module design, state layout, and safe CI/CD for plan and apply.
• Ability to carry out routine operational work and replace manual operations with automation adopted by other engineers.
• Experience shaping infrastructure technical direction at Staff level or equivalent, including writing designs, gaining support, and making other engineers more effective.
• Calm, methodical incident response; clear writing; and ability to work effectively in a remote, asynchronous team.

Nice To Haves

• Experience designing or operating multi-region AWS architectures.
• Experience with zero-downtime database upgrades, such as RDS blue/green, or disaster recovery exercises.
• Experience building load tests, capacity plans, or cost models for a growing product, or reducing AWS spend through rightsizing and commitments.
• Experience managing multi-account AWS Organizations and IAM Identity Center as code.
• Experience with policy as code and infrastructure scanning.
• Experience operating Cloudflare at scale, including DNS, WAF, and Workers.
• Experience with AWS data and event services.

Responsibilities

• Share the Infrastructure team’s day-to-day work, including requests, upgrades, daily checks, and incidents; join on-call once it is in place.
• Shape AWS infrastructure technical direction and standards with the Infrastructure team, and jointly own the roadmap.
• Design and build Terraform modules and patterns that make secure, reliable infrastructure practices easy for product squads to adopt.
• Keep infrastructure, including Cloudflare and AWS edge infrastructure, fully represented in code; close remaining gaps and automate drift detection.
• Evolve Terraform organization and application practices, including state, environments, and module boundaries, to keep changes small, reviewable, and safe to roll out.
• Automate operational work, including database migrations, routine production tasks, and daily checks, through pipelines with review and audit trails.
• Own PostgreSQL and DynamoDB platform operations, including backups that are regularly tested through restores.
• Make AWS service, database, and runtime upgrades without interrupting Members.
• Model how growth affects AWS costs, establish load testing, and use both to plan capacity ahead of launches.
• Provide technical leadership through design reviews, mentoring, and cross-team collaboration.

Benefits

• Flexible working hours.
• Unlimited paid time off.
• Fully remote working situation.
• Home office budget.
• Learning and development budget.
• On-demand therapy sessions and mental health support via Spill.
• In-person meetups.
