📋 Description

• Design and build the platform that Burq scales on for the next several years • Own and execute the AWS account split — separating production, staging, and development into clean isolated environments • Lead the Aurora DB production migration with support from our infrastructure advisor • Manage and evolve our ECS Fargate services, RDS clusters, ElastiCache, SQS queues, and ALB configuration • Own Terraform — infrastructure as code, not click-ops • Harden IAM — developer permission sets, production access controls, least-privilege enforcement • Audit and lock down public S3 buckets • Enable AWS Config and Security Hub across all accounts • Own SOC 2 Type 2 readiness maintenance in partnership with Sprinto • Coordinate external penetration test cadence • Own and improve our GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines — build times, test reliability, deployment velocity • Build out PR stack environments so product teams can test independently • Drive the local development stack initiative — Docker Compose-based environments that replace shared preprod • Integrate AI-assisted testing into the CI pipeline • Own CloudWatch dashboards spanning ALB, ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, SQS, and target group health • Lead post-incident reviews and ensure every incident produces a runbook entry • Partner with product teams to distribute platform work as a standing sprint allocation — not a separate queue

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of engineering experience with 3+ years focused on infrastructure and platform engineering • Deep AWS expertise — ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, SQS, Lambda, account architecture • Terraform proficiency — you write infrastructure as code and know why it matters • Strong CI/CD background — GitHub Actions, deployment pipelines, environment management • Security-minded — you know how to harden systems without creating friction for product engineers • Experience with observability tooling — CloudWatch, Datadog, or equivalent

🏖️ Benefits

• Fully Remote • Medical, Vision and Dental Insurance • Reimbursement for educational courses
