Job Description

You'll work closely with engineering teams to understand their infrastructure requirements and implement solutions that enhance their productivity while maintaining our high security standards. We need our engineers to be versatile, display exceptional leadership qualities, and be enthusiastic about solving complex infrastructure challenges. Our cloud infrastructure is primarily built on AWS using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, supported by automation through Python and other modern tools. With your technical expertise, you will drive infrastructure design decisions, implement security best practices, and ensure the reliability of our cloud platform as we scale our global network to support our growing engineering organization.
