We’re looking for a Lead Infrastructure Engineer to own and scale the core systems powering developer velocity and platform reliability at Kognitos. If you're passionate about Terraform, scalable cloud infrastructure, and enabling high-performance engineering teams, this is your opportunity to lead from the front.

About The Role In this hybrid role, you’ll operate at the intersection of Developer Productivity and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). You’ll design, implement, and maintain the infrastructure that enables our teams to build quickly and operate with confidence.

What You’ll Do

• Own and evolve our Infrastructure as Code systems using Terraform
• Design and maintain scalable, cloud-native infrastructure (primarily AWS)
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and other tools
• Lead monitoring and observability efforts using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog
• Improve internal tooling to streamline developer workflows and automate manual processes
• Champion reliability, security, and performance across our systems
• Mentor other engineers and promote DevOps best practices across the organization

What We’re Looking For

Technical Skills

• 5–8+ years in Infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or Developer Productivity roles
• Deep experience with Terraform and other Infrastructure as Code tools
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Proficiency with container technologies (Kubernetes, Docker)
• Solid scripting or automation experience (Python, Bash, or Go)
• Experience with CI/CD systems and practices (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)

Soft Skills

• Proven ability to take ownership and lead infrastructure projects end-to-end
• Strong communicator who can work across teams and technical levels
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and adaptable in a fast-paced environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with observability and alerting tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
• Exposure to security automation or compliance tooling
• Prior experience at a startup or on high-growth engineering teams
