- Mentor your team on cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and enterprise-grade deployments
- Optimize performance for OpenSearch, databases, and other K8s services
- Define scaling guidelines for GPU and CPU compute resources
- Build processes & technology that scales — we're growing fast.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering with demonstrated leadership
- Hands-on experience deploying enterprise software at scale
- Strong expertise in cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP)
- Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines
- High agency — you don't wait for permission to solve problems
