• Maintain and enhance automation tooling and deployment infrastructure in line with SOC 2 best practices.
• Identify parts of the architecture that lack redundancy and improve reliability.
• Build monitoring, alerting, and tooling that surfaces front-end and back-end issues as soon as they happen.
• Write and maintain clear documentation for infrastructure and processes.

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, release engineering, or build automation, including 3+ years with large-scale distributed infrastructure and client-server architecture.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container technologies in a microservices environment.
• Experience deploying and managing infrastructure as code with Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible.
• Strong experience with AWS and cloud infrastructure automation.
• Experience with CI/CD, continuous testing, and monitoring and alerting tools such as Grafana and the ELK stack.
