Responsibilities

• Infrastructure ownership and cloud operations. Design, build, and maintain multi-region AWS infrastructure using Terraform. Operate and scale EKS clusters across production regions: autoscaling, node lifecycle, workload health. Manage networking across environments: VPC design, DNS, load balancing, and cross-region connectivity. Support infrastructure changes, migrations, and expansions into new regions. Contribute to and improve GitOps-based deployment workflows using GitHub Actions, Helm, and Kustomize.
• Reliability engineering and incident response. Help build and run incident management processes: severity definitions, escalation paths, on-call practices. Lead incident response, debugging, and root-cause analysis. Write postmortems and drive systemic reliability improvements from what they surface. Improve observability across metrics, logging, tracing, and dashboards. Support GPU and batch workloads running on Kubernetes.
• Security and access management. Provide security-conscious feedback on platform architecture decisions. Own cloud IAM governance: roles, policies, and access boundaries across accounts and services. Lead compliance-adjacent work including audit-readiness, partner certification requirements, and supporting responses to customer security questionnaires.
• Platform tooling and developer experience. Improve CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure validation. Support engineers with infrastructure debugging, environment setup, and performance issues. Contribute to tooling and automation in Python and Bash. Take on adjacent responsibilities as needed in a startup environment.

Required Qualifications

• Experience. 5+ years in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering roles, with a track record of operating production systems across multiple regions.
• Terraform. Modules, state management, and multi-environment patterns.
• AWS depth. Solid experience across VPC, IAM, EKS, S3, and CloudWatch.
• Kubernetes expertise. Cluster operations, autoscaling, RBAC, and Helm.
• CI/CD and GitOps. Experience with GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or similar workflows.
• Networking fundamentals. CIDR, DNS, load balancing, VPN, and cross-region connectivity.
• Observability. Experience with tooling such as Prometheus and Grafana.
• Scripting. Comfort with Python and Bash for tooling and automation.
• Cross-platform familiarity. Working knowledge of both Linux and Windows environments. Operational experience supporting Windows-based workloads is a meaningful advantage.
• Pragmatism and ownership. Comfortable in a fast-moving startup with evolving priorities. You take ownership of systems while collaborating closely with other teams, and you're pragmatic about tradeoffs between speed, reliability, and complexity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Windows on Kubernetes. Experience with Windows node pools, Windows AMIs, and GPU-adjacent components on K8s.
• GPU scheduling. Familiarity with GPU scheduling on Kubernetes, including NVIDIA device plugin configuration.
• Domain workloads. Experience supporting simulation, ML, or rendering workloads in cloud infrastructure.
• AWS extras. Exposure to AWS Storage Gateway, Active Directory integrations, or AWS Transfer Family.
• Service mesh. Familiarity with service proxy or service mesh patterns.
• Container OS. Experience with container-optimized OS images (e.g., Bottlerocket, Packer).
• Cost optimization. Cloud cost optimization at scale.

What Makes a Great Candidate You think in failure modes and proactively surface issues. You hold a principled view on security and push back constructively when designs introduce unnecessary risk. You communicate clearly across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams, flagging issues with urgency proportional to customer impact. You take end-to-end ownership of complex efforts and know when to push for the clean solution versus the pragmatic one.

Base salary range of CAD $145,000–$185,000, depending on skills, qualifications, and experience, plus equity, full health/dental/vision coverage, learning stipend, and generous vacation. This role is remote-friendly across Canada and the US Pacific Northwest.
