The Role:
We're seeking an experienced infrastructure engineer to help architect and build our AWS cloud foundation. This is a technical leadership role where you'll design infrastructure-as-code solutions, create self-service platforms for development teams, and establish the architectural patterns that enable us to scale.
You'll work independently with limited supervision, making technical decisions about cloud architecture, security baselines, and infrastructure patterns.
Responsibilities:
Infrastructure Architecture
- Design and implement AWS cloud architecture from the ground up, including multi-account strategy, networking patterns, security baselines, and environment configurations
- Build infrastructure-as-code foundations using Terraform, creating reusable modules that encode organizational standards
- Establish "golden paths" for common infrastructure patterns—making the right way the easy way
Platform Development
- Create self-service infrastructure tooling (CLIs, APIs, or interfaces) that hide AWS complexity from internal users while maintaining security guardrails
- Build abstraction layers that provide infrastructure provisioning without sacrificing governance
- Develop documentation and enablement materials that teach teams to leverage infrastructure independently
Technical Leadership
- Serve as a technical authority on cloud infrastructure and architecture decisions
- Establish observability foundations (logging, metrics, tracing) for platform health visibility
- Automate operational tasks
- Communicate complex technical decisions to engineering and business stakeholder
Required Qualifications:
- 5-8+ years in infrastructure, cloud engineering, or platform roles
- Deep AWS expertise with production environment design (VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudFormation/CDK)
- Terraform mastery including module design, state management, and multi-environment strategies
- Platform thinking: Experience building self-service infrastructure or internal tooling that enables teams
- Automation philosophy: Strong scripting/coding in Python, Go, Bash, or similar
- Systems thinking: You make decisions based on multiple constraints—infrastructure, security, compliance, and developer experience must balance
- Independent executor: You work autonomously, making sound technical judgments and seeking input when needed
- Product mindset: You treat infrastructure as a product with internal customers, caring about developer experience and platform usability
Preferred Qualifications:
- Building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) or self-service infrastructure
- Regulated industries (chemical, manufacturing, healthcare, financial) with compliance requirements
- Serverless Architecture and Lambda experience
- Track record mentoring engineers and establishing infrastructure practices
- Hybrid cloud or multi-cloud experience (AWS primary, Azure/GCP helpful)
