Key Responsibilities
• Infrastructure Scaling and Stability: Contribute to the continuous scaling of our infrastructure to handle increasing loads while maintaining stability and performance.
• Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and analyze system performance, identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement, and optimize our infrastructure and applications to ensure low-latency, high-throughput operation.
• Cost Management: Implement strategies to optimize infrastructure costs without compromising performance, including rightsizing resources, automating scaling policies, and leveraging cloud provider cost-saving mechanisms.
• Enhancing Observability: Improve our monitoring and observability capabilities, ensuring we have comprehensive visibility into the health and performance of our infrastructure, and develop and maintain dashboards, alerts, and logs that provide actionable insights for the entire engineering team.
• Collaboration and Support: Work closely with developers and other stakeholders to ensure seamless integration between infrastructure and applications, providing guidance and support on infrastructure-related topics, and fostering a culture of shared responsibility for the system's reliability.
• Security and Compliance: Contribute to the security and compliance of our infrastructure by implementing best practices and staying up-to-date with industry standards.

• Deep understanding of at least one primary cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and experience managing infrastructure on bare-metal servers
• Demonstrated ability to architect and manage infrastructure that can scale horizontally and vertically to support a growing user base and increasing traffic
• Strong focus on optimizing infrastructure to balance performance and cost
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., Bash, Python)
• Deep understanding of best practices for monitoring, logging, and observability
• Experience with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or similar systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
