• Typically 8+ years of software engineering, DevOps, SRE, or cloud engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership, including owning roadmaps, making architectural decisions, and mentoring engineers.
• Strong general software background, with real experience building, deploying, and operating production applications on cloud. You understand a professional software development lifecycle end to end, including how applications are built, tested, released, and run in production. You understand what constitutes maintainable code.
• Deep experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including deploying and running production workloads at scale.
• Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform), authoring and maintaining reusable modules and infrastructure that other engineers depend on and build on top of.
• Experience building and setting modern CI/CD, continuous testing, and deployment standards, and driving their adoption across multiple teams or products.
• Demonstrated ability to work across a broad technical surface area, context-switching between infrastructure, application development, and platform architecture, and to work across teams to understand requirements and seek consensus.
• Recognized depth in one or more of: CI/CD and build/release tooling, cloud networking, infrastructure-as-code at scale, or developer platforms and shared engineering tooling, with working fluency across the rest.
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals (e.g. HTTP, ports, DNS, firewalls, security groups, cloud networking primitives) sufficient to design and troubleshoot connectivity between environments.
• Experience using AI-powered development tools to deliver production code and automate routine work, and the ability to leverage AI as a force multiplier for yourself and your team.
• Ability to exercise cross-organizational influence and to coach and mentor a team through the delivery of complex technical projects.
• Self-directed and comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and the playbook is being written in real time. Able to work through significant ambiguity to define requirements and deliver results.
