This is a foundational role with real ownership: you'll design, build, and run the infrastructure, tooling, and standards that power all engineering teams. You'll work directly with the VP of Engineering, product, and data leaders to define platform direction and deliver reusable infrastructure, access controls, and observability that enable true self-service. Their DevOps philosophy is service-driven we build systems that let engineers ship faster without depending on a central ops team.

Own core infrastructure: Operate and scale our AWS environment with a focus on reliability, performance, and cost efficiency.
Security and compliance: Implement least-privilege access and compliance-by-default infrastructure to support SOC 2 readiness; ISO 27001 experience is relevant.
Access and cost management: Manage AWS IAM and database access, and partner with leadership to track and optimize cloud spend.
Observability and analytics: Standardize monitoring and product analytics using Datadog and PostHog so teams get actionable visibility by default.

Tech Stack:

Languages & frameworks: Python (Flask, FastAPI, data pipelines), React
Cloud & infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Fargate, EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, VPC, Route53, S3, Step Functions), Docker, Terraform
CI/CD & quality: GitHub Actions, Sonar
Databases: Postgres, SQL Server
Monitoring & analytics: Datadog, PostHog

Required Skills & Experience:

6+ years in platform, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering
Deep hands-on experience with AWS, Terraform, Docker, and ECS or Fargate
Working knowledge of Python services and React-based applications
Strong background in CI/CD, observability, and code quality tooling
Experience supporting or preparing for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits

Desired Skills & Experience:

Managing AWS IAM at scale
