This team member may not have all the answers but knows how to find them.

• Evolve and support our immutable deployment platform.
• Contribute to the design of high-volume, low-latency applications for mission-critical systems, ensuring high availability and performance, while collaborating closely with development teams.
• Design and implement on-premise and cloud infrastructure solutions on platforms such as VMWare, AWS, Azure.
• Maintain and upgrade our on-premise data center infrastructure.
• Develop and deploy Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Ansible and Terraform.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to system performance, network connectivity, and security.
• Perform system upgrades, patch management, and security hardening.
• Become part of a continuously evolving environment.
• Optimize cloud infrastructure for cost, performance, and scalability.
• Monitor the performance, availability, and security of our on-premise and cloud environments.
• Become part of development on tools for automating deployments, unify platform metrics, reporting and monitoring.

• Cloud experience -- designing and building tools and infrastructure for cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, Azure).
• Moderate exposure to tools -- Ansible, Terraform, Helm, Jenkins, Gitlab, Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki amongst others.
• Operational experience -- comfortable supporting other departments, optimizing deployments for availability and uptime, and going deep on troubleshooting and remediation.
• Programming experience -- Bash, Python, amongst others (both reading and writing).
