Web Infrastructure Engineer (Contractor)

Semgrep

23h • $80 - $100

About The Position

We are seeking a Contractor to help stabilize and modernize the infrastructure behind our website semgrep.dev. This project focuses on simplifying and strengthening our website’s deployment pipeline to reduce downtime during deployments, improve reliability, and enable faster, more predictable content publishing, while ensuring the marketing website operates independently from the product application so new URLs and pages can be added without requiring Infrastructure’s involvement.
You will work closely with Marketing, Infrastructure, and Engineering teams to streamline how our CMS (Statamic) content is built and deployed. The project includes finding ways to streamline our current submodule-based setup using existing tools to better automate deployments and reduce reliance on manual processes, while optimizing our use of CloudFront, S3, AWS, Kubernetes, and proxy layers for improved stability and performance.
At the end of this engagement, semgrep.dev will have a more reliable deployment process where:
The Web Development team can deploy and push changes to production without taking down the CMS or disrupting ongoing content work.
Content updates can be published instantly and automatically through a simplified deployment flow.
New URLs and pages can be added to the marketing site without Infrastructure support.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in web infrastructure or DevOps roles with strong focus on deployment automation and CI/CD systems.
• Expertise with AWS services (S3, CloudFront, EC2/ECS, Lambda, Route53, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized deployment workflows.
• Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines and experience improving deployment processes for static or hybrid sites.
• Familiarity with static site generators or CMS-driven sites (Statamic, Laravel, or similar frameworks a plus).
• Strong knowledge of Git, branching strategies, and repository management.
• Comfort working in cross-functional environments across Marketing, Infrastructure, and Engineering.
• Excellent written documentation and communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Understanding of CDN caching, proxy routing, and build optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with Netlify or other static site hosting workflows.

Responsibilities

• Scope and assess the current marketing site and product application setup to identify dependencies, bottlenecks, and improvement areas.
• Research and propose infrastructure solutions and optimization strategies to simplify deployments and improve scalability.
• Develop a detailed execution plan outlining milestones, architectural updates, and rollout phases.
• Eliminate CMS downtime during deployments by improving Statamic’s build and publish flow.
• Ensure the marketing site operates independently from the product application so new URLs and pages can be added without Infrastructure involvement.
• Redesign the deployment pipeline with Infrastructure to enable faster, more reliable content releases
• Review and optimize AWS (S3, CloudFront, EKS/Kubernetes) configurations to support the new architecture.
• Partner with Marketing, Infrastructure, and Engineering teams to ensure performance, security, and monitoring best practices are implemented.
