This role offers the opportunity to work on state-of-the-art technology with a team that values experimentation, support, and speed.

• Drive cost-efficiency initiatives, including observability into AWS spend, right-sizing infrastructure, and optimizing AI usage costs.

• Champion performance and scalability, identifying bottlenecks and pushing for systemic improvements.

• Evaluate and introduce new technologies where appropriate, balancing innovation with long-term maintainability.

About You

• Experience with AWS, including ECS/EKS, API Gateway, CloudWatch, CloudFormation/Terraform, S3, and VPC networking.

• Strong Python engineering experience, including distributed systems, async workloads, and production service development.

• Deep experience with Postgres, including indexing strategies, migrations, query optimization, and high-availability patterns.

• Production experience with modern DevOps tooling, including Docker, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and observability stacks.

• Strong architectural skills designing highly available, horizontally scalable systems.
