Overview
This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days a week
You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.
Must have Ad Tech / MarTech industry experience specifically in e-commerce travel and finance.
As a Software Engineer 2 on the Engineering Experience (EngExp) platform team you help run and improve the platform that powers CJs production systems across multiple AWS regions. Platform here is broad - it is the Kubernetes clusters but also the observability stack every squad depends on the CI/CD and artifact infrastructure their builds run through the AWS networking that connects them and the secrets and access systems that gate them. EngExp owns all of it. This is a hands-on operationally-focused role: youll take on well-scoped work across these systems ship it end to end and build real depth in them with senior engineers alongside you. We are looking for someone genuinely curious about how these systems work under the hood and eager to grow into owning them.
Responsibilities
The Systems You Work On:
EngExp owns the systems below. Youll contribute to operating them and build depth in them over time starting with guidance from senior engineers:
Observability & monitoring Prometheus Alertmanager Grafana and OpenTelemetry across production regions. Youll add and tune metrics dashboards and alert rules and learn how Prometheus and Alertmanager actually behave at scale - cardinality recording rules and alert routing. This is real depth to grow into not just dashboard-building.
Kubernetes & cloud infrastructure multi-region EKS clusters: routine maintenance node group changes controller upgrades and add-on configuration with senior engineers alongside.
AWS networking VPCs subnets and CIDR management security groups and Route53. Youll help keep prod networking healthy and learn the multi-region topology.
CI/CD & artifact management GitLab CI/CD pipelines GitOps delivery through ArgoCD and the Nexus artifact repository.
Access & identity IAM roles and service accounts for apps in the clusters Vault-managed secrets and fulfilling access requests - then helping turn the repetitive ones into self-service.
Cost observability OpenCost and cleanup work (e.g. orphaned EBS volumes) so cost is attributable rather than shared overhead.
What Youll Do:
Pick up well-scoped platform work across the systems above and ship it end to end
Build and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines and GitOps delivery through ArgoCD
Write and review infrastructure-as-code with Terraform for AWS resources
1-2 years of experience in software or infrastructure engineering
Bachelors degree or equivalent experience
Comfortable in the terminal and reading YAML Terraform or similar declarative config
Some exposure to cloud (AWS or equivalent) and containers - production Kubernetes experience is a plus not a requirement
Genuine interest in operating real systems - especially observability - and growing deep in them
Willing to learn how systems fail and to ask questions when something looks off
Effective communication; enjoys pair programming and code review
Nice to Have:
Hands-on exposure to Kubernetes Terraform or GitLab/GitHub CI/CD
Any experience with Prometheus/Grafana or another metrics stack
Scripting in Python Bash or Go
What Success Looks Like:
You reliably deliver well-scoped platform work end to end with decreasing oversight
Youre building genuine depth in at least one system we own not just familiarity with the tools
Other engineers find the workflows you touch easier and more predictable to use
