Cloud Architect   $100,000 USD/year

Description

You're a DevOps engineer who prioritizes preventing outages rather than merely responding to them. If you find satisfaction in dissecting convoluted legacy systems, architecting streamlined solutions, and eliminating manual repetition through automation, this opportunity is for you. We need a DevOps and AWS infrastructure specialist who excels in demanding environments where 99.9% uptime is the baseline expectation. Your work will span a portfolio of acquired products—each with unique characteristics—guiding their migration into a unified, scalable AWS environment while establishing monitoring and automation that keeps incidents infrequent.

Where most companies ask you to manage one stack, we challenge you to integrate and refine multiple stacks without causing disruptions. Unlike those who segregate databases, we take a different approach: strategically consolidating them to enhance cost efficiency and simplify management across our portfolio. This position isn't suited for someone content with maintaining the status quo; it's designed for someone who looks at a disjointed, inconsistent landscape and immediately envisions how to rebuild it better.

Your domain will include infrastructure migrations, AI-enhanced automation, performance optimization, database transitions, and cost management. This means troubleshooting and resolving issues, orchestrating cloud migrations with minimal downtime, and leveraging AI/ML-driven workflows to automate significant portions of your workload. You'll have genuine decision-making power over infrastructure—no delays waiting for sign-off from stakeholders who lack technical depth.

If you're a self-directed problem-solver energized by untangling intricate systems and ensuring they operate seamlessly, this role will feel like your ideal challenge. If you require constant guidance, struggle when juggling multiple technology stacks, or favor greenfield projects over transforming chaos into order, this environment won't suit you. If you're prepared to assume responsibility for a high-impact infrastructure position with opportunities to build, refine, and automate at scale, submit your application now!

What you will be doing

  • Orchestrating and executing sophisticated infrastructure transformations, including transitions from legacy environments to AWS cloud platforms and lift-and-shift migrations
  • Architecting and deploying comprehensive monitoring strategies and creating automations for monitoring, software releases, and operational processes
  • Conducting system monitoring, backup operations, incident management, database migrations, database setup, and cost reduction initiatives

What you will NOT be doing

  • Spending your time in Jira and marathon status meetings - we prioritize individuals who deliver solutions, not just document issues
  • Keeping obsolete systems running indefinitely - you'll have the mandate to implement substantial upgrades
  • Waiting through bureaucratic approval processes - you'll possess the authority to deploy immediate resolutions during incidents
  • Operating within restrictive technical boundaries - this position demands both wide-ranging knowledge and specialized expertise
  • Justifying budget requests for essential infrastructure enhancements - we recognize the value of infrastructure investment

Key responsibilities

  • Advance the reliability and uniformity of cloud infrastructure throughout our expanding product portfolio by deploying comprehensive monitoring, automation, and AWS best practices.

Candidate requirements

  • Comprehensive AWS infrastructure knowledge (this is our core platform - experience with other clouds alone is insufficient)
  • Proficient programming abilities in Python or JavaScript for developing automation and tooling
  • Background managing and migrating production databases across multiple engines (including MySql, Postgres, Oracle, MS-SQL)
  • Expert-level Docker/Kubernetes capabilities
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation)
  • Linux systems administration proficiency
