We're looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to take full ownership of our AWS EKS Kubernetes platform and the open source ecosystem that powers it.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role — you'll be the go-to expert for cluster reliability, observability, GitOps automation, and infrastructure-as-code.

You'll work closely with our engineering teams to ensure our platform is resilient, secure, and continuously improving.

We want someone who thinks architecturally, automates relentlessly, and raises the bar for how we build and run infrastructure.

You'll have real autonomy over architectural decisions, not just implementation work
