Base Salary
$150k - $250k/yr
Responsibilities
- Own production uptime, latency, provisioning speed, infrastructure cost, and incident response for core platform services.
- Build and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform, Kubernetes/EKS, Helm, Docker, EC2, CodeBuild, ECR, S3, IAM, networking, and secrets management.
- Design and improve backend and platform systems for capacity planning, autoscaling, queueing, backpressure, cleanup jobs, retries, and rollback paths.
- Define and improve dashboards, alerts, logs, traces, SLOs, runbooks, and on-call workflows.
- Build CI/CD pipelines, release automation, environment management, and deployment workflows.
- Write production-quality code to automate systems, improve backend services, and create internal developer tooling.
Requirements
- 2 to 4 years of experience owning production cloud infrastructure for a high-availability, user-facing platform.
- Deep hands-on experience with AWS and containerized systems, especially Terraform, Kubernetes/EKS, Docker, EC2, networking, load balancers, and secrets management.
- Experience building or operating CI/CD, release automation, observability, alerting, and incident response systems.
- Strong backend engineering judgment across service architecture, APIs, databases, asynchronous systems, queues, scaling limits, and production failure modes.
- Experience designing systems for bursty workloads, long-running jobs, sandboxed execution, distributed workers, or high-concurrency services.
- Background operating infrastructure for AI/ML, data-heavy, marketplace, workflow, developer-tools, or enterprise platforms.
- Demonstrated ability to reduce cloud spend through architecture, autoscaling, workload placement, caching, cleanup systems, or observability.
- Ability to write clean, production-quality code; generic DevOps or infrastructure-only experience without backend depth is not a strong fit.
Benefits
- Salary range is $150,000 to $250,000 USD annually.
- Visa sponsorship is available.
- On-site work is required in Singapore, with San Francisco also considered for on-site work.
- Candidates outside Singapore and San Francisco, particularly in Europe, may be considered as fully remote independent contractors.
