What you’ll do

Design, operate, and continuously improve our Kubernetes infrastructure on Amazon EKS, including Karpenter-based autoscaling, workload scheduling, and cluster lifecycle management
Administer and tune PostgreSQL databases (on RDS) that back platform applications such as Airflow — handling configuration, parameter tuning, maintenance, and reliability, not query optimization
Own our Infrastructure as Code using Terraform — provisioning, modifying, and auditing AWS resources including S3, EC2, RDS, EKS, and IAM
Manage IAM roles, policies, and access patterns across our AWS environment with a security-first mindset
Maintain our artifact registries (ECR, Artifactory) — enforcing retention policies, image versioning standards, and responding to infosec requests around package vulnerabilities and container image remediation
Own and evolve our monitoring and observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch) — improving coverage, reducing noise, and evaluating the stack as needs change
Support our CI/CD and source control environment across both current (Bitbucket, Jenkins) and target (GitHub, GitHub Actions) tooling as we migrate
Collaborate with data engineers to define infrastructure patterns, containerization standards, and deployment best practices
Participate in on-call rotation for platform-level incidents

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
4+ years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or DevOps in production environments
Deep expertise with Kubernetes in production — ideally Amazon EKS — including autoscaling (Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler), networking, and day-to-day operations
Strong proficiency in Terraform for infrastructure as code
Solid AWS experience across EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, and IAM
Experience administering PostgreSQL or similar relational databases in a cloud environment — configuration, tuning for specific workloads, and operational maintenance

Experience with observability tooling — Prometheus, Grafana, and log aggregation (OpenSearch or similar)
Familiarity with artifact management, container image lifecycle, and vulnerability remediation workflows
Experience with code repository and CI/CD solutions such as Bitbucket, Jenkins, GitHub, and GitHub Actions
Scripting and automation proficiency in Python and/or Bash
Strong Linux fundamentals and comfort operating cloud-native production systems
