• Strong experience operating production systems on AWS, GCP, or similar cloud providers.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi) and Kubernetes.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid networking fundamentals (IP, routing, NAT, DNS).
• Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and production incident response.
• Strong sense of ownership, seeing problems through from detection to resolution to prevention.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate scalable cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code for globally distributed management and relay services.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support rapid, reproducible, and safe delivery of backend and client components.
• Own service reliability: implement observability (metrics, logs, tracing), lead incident response, and drive postmortems with actionable improvements.
• Collaborate with backend and networking engineers to optimize routing, connectivity, and overall system performance.
• Build internal tooling and automation to improve developer experience and support the open-source ecosystem.
