- Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
- Kubernetes-based application platforms
- Internal developer tooling and automation
- DevSecOps controls, secrets management, and deployment security
- Reliability, observability, and operational excellence
- AI-assisted engineering workflows and platform enablement
What We're Looking For
- Strong Python programming and/or Go development experience
- Hands-on Kubernetes and Terraform experience
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines and developer platforms
- Experience working with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
- Ability to build tools, services, and automation rather than simply operate existing systems
- Comfortable owning projects from architecture through production deployment
- Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals and production systems
Ideal Backgrounds
We are especially interested in:
- Platform Engineers
- Site Reliability Engineers (SRE)
- Production Engineers
- Infrastructure Software Engineers
