Skills
About the Role
You will design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure that operates independently of the on-premises environment. You'll architect resilient and secure systems, support production and HPC-style workloads in the cloud, and own systems end to end from networking and identity to compute, storage, and monitoring. You'll lead root cause analysis on incidents, improve monitoring and alerting, apply infrastructure security best practices, and pivot quickly to whatever needs fixing while working with a globally distributed team.
Requirements
- Broad, hands-on experience as an infrastructure generalist, such as Linux administration, DevOps, systems engineering, or SRE
- Deep understanding of Linux internals and networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, routing, and load balancing
- Strong experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including networking, IAM, and compute services
- Working knowledge of infrastructure security fundamentals
- Proven track record of troubleshooting complex systems and driving root cause analysis
- Experience designing and architecting systems
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or Salt
- Experience with monitoring and alerting tools such as Prometheus, Alertmanager, or Grafana
- Proficiency in Bash and Python scripting
