• Troubleshoot complex issues spanning clusters, networking, certificates, deployments, and application behavior
• Manage certificate lifecycle and expiration, ensuring secure and uninterrupted service operation
• Collaborate with InfoSec, Vulnerability Management, and Network Security teams (e.g., Zscaler) to maintain a strong security posture
• Collaborate with L1/L2 teams, helping them understand infrastructure and operational best practices
• Participate in on call and lead incident response, drive root cause analysis, and ensure effective post-incident remediation and learnings
• Identify architectural anti-patterns and drive improvements by reviewing new services for production readiness, resiliency, and secure design prior to release
• Establish and enforce production readiness standards, including deployment strategies, rollback plans, and observability requirements
• Optimize infrastructure cost and resource utilization without compromising reliability and performance

• Experience building or supporting scalable, distributed systems in production
• Deep experience with AWS cloud environments, including AWS, IAM, networking, and access controls
• Strong hands-on expertise with similar tools like Kubernetes (EKS preferred): cluster creation, deployments, scaling, and troubleshooting
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (VPCs, routing, DNS, load balancing, security groups)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, deployment tools, and infrastructure automation
• Working knowledge of databases and query optimization, and understanding how applications behave under load
• Familiarity with similar tools like Kafka or other messaging systems
• Comfortable conducting code reviews and participating in coding focused interviews
• Strong operational mindset with experience in incident management and oncall rotations
• Clear communicator and collaborative teammate who values documentation and knowledge sharing

How to Really Get Our Attention
