📋 Description
• Define and enforce SLOs (target ≥99.95% for core services). • Lead incident management and the shift from reactive to proactive reliability (redundancy, failure testing, chaos/DR exercises, error budgets). • Own our AWS environment (EC2/EKS, VPC, ALB/NLB, Route 53, S3, RDS/Aurora, IAM/KMS). • Drive cost/performance tradeoffs and manage a seven‑figure AWS budget with clear FinOps guardrails. • Operate and evolve the Rails monolith (EC2 today; containerized & Terraform‑managed going forward). • Standardize the Go/Kubernetes services stack (EKS, Helm) with paved‑road templates, service bootstrapping, and zero‑toil deploys. • Make infrastructure repeatable and reviewable using Terraform (authoring and review), Helm, and GitLab CI/CD. • Own ingress/egress (NGINX) and service mesh (Linkerd). • Ensure end‑to‑end visibility (DataDog, CloudWatch, logs/traces). • Work hand‑in‑hand with Security to meet/beat PCI, SOC 2 and related audits; build controls into the platform by default. • Partner with Data/DBA teams (Aurora MySQL & Postgres) to advise on reliability and strategies for horizontal scaling of relational databases.
🎯 Requirements
• 10-12+ years in engineering with 5+ leading Infra/Platform/DevOps/SRE teams. • Deep AWS experience operating 24×7, high‑volume systems. • Rails at scale: You’ve operated a Ruby on Rails application in production on AWS (EC2/containers) and understand its deployment/runtime characteristics. • Kubernetes expert: Designed/operated EKS (or equivalent) for mission‑critical services; multi‑AZ patterns, autoscaling, rollout strategies. • Terraform author: You’ve written and reviewed Terraform in anger; you enforce code review, testing, and module standards. • CI/CD & automation: GitLab pipelines, Helm, container build/publish, progressive delivery. • Observability & incident leadership: You set SLOs, build usable dashboards, and run world‑class on‑call. • Security & audits: Comfortable building for PCI/SOC 2 controls in regulated environments. • Pragmatic technologist: Preference for boring, battle‑tested tech over novelty; bias to shipping.
🏖️ Benefits
• Competitive salary and benefits with growth-company options grant • Fast- paced and professional work culture • Stock options with standard startup vesting - 1 year cliff; 4 years total • $50 monthly communication expense stipend to go towards your phone/internet bill • $250 stipend to enhance your WFH setup • Reimbursement for peripheral equipment: monitor (up to $400), keyboard and mouse (up to $200) • Premium medical benefits including vision and dental (100% coverage for employees) • Company-sponsored life and disability insurance • Paid parental bonding leave • Paid sick leave, jury duty, bereavement • 401k plan • Flexible Time Off (our team members typically take off ~3-4 weeks per year) • Volunteer Time Off • 13 scheduled holidays
