Description
Are you the AWS wizard who thrives on taming complex cloud infrastructures? Do you relish the challenge of diving deep into inherited systems, decoding their intricacies, and crafting elegant solutions? If you're the go-to problem solver who can architect robust AWS environments and implement game-changing automation, we need to talk.
This isn't your average Cloud Architect role. We're seeking a technical mastermind to standardize and optimize our diverse AWS landscape across multiple products. You'll have the autonomy to make impactful decisions, the authority to drive systematic improvements, and the opportunity to leave your mark on our growing infrastructure.
If you're ready to unleash your expertise on challenging technical puzzles and transform our cloud ecosystem, read on. This role is tailor-made for those who excel at both building and operating complex systems.
What you will be doing
- Spearhead the evolution of our AWS infrastructure, implementing cutting-edge best practices and automation
- Architect and deploy advanced monitoring solutions that provide unparalleled visibility into our complex systems
- Develop powerful tools and automation to dramatically enhance reliability and slash operational overhead
- Lead technical due diligence during acquisitions, rapidly mastering inherited systems and driving strategic improvements
- Independently tackle and resolve the most challenging infrastructure issues, crafting innovative solutions where standard approaches fall short
What you will NOT be doing
- Drowning in endless status meetings and Jira tickets - we empower our architects to drive solutions, not just track issues
- Maintaining legacy systems indefinitely - you'll have the mandate to implement transformative improvements
- Navigating bureaucratic approval processes - you'll have the authority to execute critical fixes swiftly
- Getting pigeonholed into narrow technical specialties - this role demands both breadth and depth of expertise
- Battling for resources to implement essential infrastructure upgrades - we prioritize investment in our cloud ecosystem
Key responsibilities
Transform the reliability and standardization of our cloud infrastructure across our expanding product portfolio by implementing state-of-the-art monitoring, automation, and AWS best practices.
Candidate requirements
- Proven mastery of AWS infrastructure (our primary platform - alternative cloud experience alone is insufficient)
- Advanced programming skills in Python/JavaScript for developing sophisticated automation and tooling
- Extensive hands-on experience with Kubernetes in large-scale production environments
- Demonstrated success in implementing comprehensive, enterprise-grade monitoring solutions
- Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible)
- Expert-level Linux systems administration skills
- Ability to manage on-call responsibilities and perform rapid, high-stakes troubleshooting as part of regular duties
