What you need
- Comfortable using AI agents (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI Codex/Cursor) daily to accelerate development, refactoring, and infrastructure workflows.
- Deep hands-on expertise provisioning, scaling, and managing complex AWS ecosystem.
- Proven experience leveraging AWS CDK or closely related cloud provisioning frameworks to define and deploy infrastructure cleanly.
- Proficient in writing scalable, maintainable code to automate workflows and integrate platform components.
- Excellent track record of identifying, diagnosing, and resolving incidents in live production environments.
- Ability to self-direct, pick up unfamiliar systems quickly, and deliver impact with minimal initial ramp-up time.
Nice to have
- Opportunity to build, scale, and optimize specialized AI/ML infrastructure and workload pipelines.
- Prior experience working within complex SaaS or high-throughput B2B software ecosystems.
- Track record of joining mature infrastructure environments, identifying technical debt, and driving stability.
- Comfortable balancing deep individual contribution with mentorship and cross-team technical alignment.
Worth weighing
- The role is focused on enabling teams rather than operating infrastructure directly, which may not suit those looking for a traditional DevOps role.
- The position requires a high level of autonomy and adaptability, which may be challenging for candidates who prefer more structured environments.
