NO JOB HOPPERS PLEASE AND STRONG CANDIDATES

The client is not just using AWS; they are engineering a high-performance ecosystem where manual intervention is a bug. They need a Senior Engineer who views infrastructure as a product not a ticket queue. Youll be the primary architect responsible for evolving our stack from functional to flawless ensuring our global footprint is secure self-healing and incredibly fast.

What Youll Own

Architectural Sovereignty: Lead the design of multi-region high-availability AWS environments that dont just meet business needs-they anticipate them.
Infrastructure-as-Software: Drive a 100% Terraform-first culture. If it isnt in code it doesnt exist.
Chaos Engineering & Resilience: Build the DR/HA strategies that let our team sleep soundly during 10x traffic spikes.
Security at Speed: Integrate IAM and networking (VPC Subnets) so deeply into the CI/CD pipeline that security becomes a performance enhancer not a bottleneck.
Financial Engineering: Treat AWS cost optimization as a high-stakes strategy game-maximizing performance per dollar spent.

Your Tech DNA

AWS Mastery: You dont just know the console; you understand the underlying primitives of EC2 RDS and S3. You likely have a Solutions Architect Professional cert (or the equivalent battle scars).
Terraform Wizardry: You write modular reusable and DRY Terraform code that other engineers study to get better.
DevOps Mindset: You believe in CI/CD as a religion and The Phoenix Project as a manual.
The 3 Year Paradox: We say 3 years but we care more about your density of experience. If youve spent two years scaling a platform to millions of users we want to talk.

The Payoff

Equity: Generous stock options. We want you to own what you build.
Autonomy: Unlimited PTO and a get it done culture.
Growth: Learning & Development stipends to keep your edge sharp.
The Standards: 401K match premium health/dental and paid family leave.
Fuel: Catered lunches and a social impact program that actually matters.

Qualifications

Experience: 3 years of experience in IT infrastructure with at least 2 years focused on AWS.
AWS Expertise: Deep knowledge of AWS services (EC2 S3 RDS VPC IAM etc.). AWS certification (Solutions Architect or similar) is a plus.
Terraform: Strong experience automating infrastructure using Terraform.

Why is This a Great Opportunity

The CTO co-founder is a brilliant man with many years of experience. He has a very high bar in his hiring and demands technical excellence.
The company is under 200 people/ lots of collaborative challenges/ and the opportunity to be mentored by individuals who excel in their profession.
