About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to design, build, and operate the cloud infrastructure that runs our web application. You will own our production environments, deployment pipelines, and reliability foundations, working closely with backend and frontend engineers to ensure systems are secure, scalable, and easy to operate.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership over how our systems run in production.

Own core cloud components:
Networking (VPCs, subnets, firewalls)
Compute (Kubernetes, VMs, serverless)
Storage and managed databases
Make pragmatic architectural trade-offs balancing cost, scalability, and complexity
CI/CD & Deployment
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for backend and frontend services
Implement safe deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, rollbacks)
Automate environment provisioning (dev, staging, production)
Improve deployment speed without sacrificing safety
Reliability & Operations
Ensure high availability and resilience of production systems
Set up monitoring, logging, and alerting

Experience with cost optimization and capacity planning
Exposure to SRE concepts (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets)
Experience supporting developer self-service platforms
Prior on-call ownership and incident leadership
What Success Looks Like
Production systems are stable, observable, and scalable
Deployments are frequent, safe, and automated
Incidents are rare, well-handled, and lead to lasting improvements
Infrastructure is reproducible and well-documented
Developers trust the platform and rarely need manual intervention
Nice-to-Have Traits
Strong sense of ownership and accountability
