- python
- redis

Requirements
Required:
- 6–10 years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering within primarily cloud-based environments (AWS preferred)
- A track record of owning a product or subsystem end to end — you've designed something significant, shipped it, operated it, and lived with the consequences
- Strong hands-on experience managing infrastructure through code and configuration (Terraform or equivalent)
- Depth in cloud infrastructure fundamentals: networking, load balancing, containerization (EKS/Kubernetes), and distributed systems
Nice to have:
- Solid programming skills in Go, Python, or a comparable language — you write real, production-ready software
- Hands-on experience operating Redis/ElastiCache in production — including cluster/shard management, failover behavior, memory eviction policies, and scaling strategies
- Comfort with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar), performance tuning, and incident management
Responsibilities
- Own a core infrastructure product or subsystem end to end — you design it, ship it, operate it, and are accountable for how it behaves in production
- Define project goals and success metrics for your work, aligning them with company objectives, and proactively identify and address risks before they become blockers
- Build secure, high-performing, resilient, and cost-efficient infrastructure for a broad range of applications and workloads
- Drive cross-team collaboration and engage stakeholders outside of engineering, facilitating discussions on technical and process topics
