THE ROLE

This is an exciting opportunity to become a leader on our engineering team, both technically and personally. In this role, you will be a key leader in architecting, building, and maintaining our cloud infrastructure. Your role is to elevate our engineering practices, champion operational excellence, and mentor the team. This is a high-impact position for an individual who can not only solve our most complex technical challenges but also drive our long-term technology strategy. You’ll also benefit from resources and mentorship from the broader ASG engineering community. You are an ideal candidate if you thrive in an entrepreneurial environment and are a results-focused self-starter.
Requirements:

In this role, you will:

• Own the cloud infrastructure and services. You will be responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of our AWS infrastructure, ensuring it is scalable, resilient, and secure to support new product features and our growing user base.
• Drive operational excellence. You will actively monitor system performance, availability, and costs using various metrics and logging tools. This includes responding to alerts and issues in a timely manner to maintain optimal operational health.
• Enhance and automate the DevOps pipeline. You will lead the integration and optimization of key DevOps tools, specifically for continuous integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD), infrastructure as code (IaC), and automated security scanning to streamline the development and deployment processes.
• Champion security and compliance. You will ensure our infrastructure adheres to best practices and security standards, such as the AWS Well-Architected Framework, and integrate auditing and security tools to maintain a robust and compliant environment.
• Mentor and lead technical growth. Act as a technical leader, providing guidance and mentorship to other engineers, conducting design reviews, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning.
